It's a different concept. A highway=*, area=yes area is a place where people can roam freely through the area (think of squares, mapped as highway=pedestrian, area=yes). On the other hand, on a street you're not supposed to drive/ride anywhere, but you have to follow the direction of traffic. Regards, Simone
