I am interested surely in whether can use a road or not - that's what I expect from a good map. But that needs to be based on visible evidence on the ground. Anyway this has nothing to do with landuse=residential. BTW I also have looked up and commented on the new idea of adding landuse=highway for roads, based on the legal status of the land, which in my view is going in the same direction of your argument. This is out of scope of OSM and also completely impractical. Volker
