No, wait. I put landuse up to the border of the "property", let's say up to the fence; then there (may be) the sidewalk; then there's the road (I know that "road" legally includes the sidewalks too; I'm using it here with the commonly used meaning). The residential, industrial, whatever landuse stops before the sidewalk: the sidewalk is NOT part of a residential landuse, for instance. I understand it's debatable whether to include the sidewalk into the area:highway object. I think it should ideally be given a different object. If we agree that sidewalks should be mapped as linear highway=footway (I know there's discussion on this point, I'm making a supposition), then we should have two different area features (or multipolys or whatever), one with area:highway=unclassified/residential/whatever and another one with area:highway=footway. In simpler terms, I wouldn't use area:highway to cover the whole right-of-way area. Ciao, Simone
