I find it useless to map such wide areas as landuses. There's no point in tagging a whole village's area as landuse=residential, and there's no point in making a sixty-km-wide polygon to indicate that between Parma and Reggio Emilia there's cultivated land.
I'm not suggesting either of these. But a single chunk of houses is clearly all residential, whether it's the size of a few lots or a huge subdivision. Splitting it at roads gives no benefit and complicates editing greatly. This is just ridiculous: http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?lat=35.323225&lon=-119.077089&zoom=18
As to residential roads, I don't think they are part of the landuse. I agree that "service"s (especially driveways) and "living_street"s are, but a residential road is not a place to live,
Neither is a lawn or swimming pool.
nor it is meant to be used only by the residents.
So your cutoff would be whether through traffic is allowed? _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
