>connecting the driveways to the road, which they don't

The driveways do connect to the road, even up to the center line, just as much 
as normal roads connect through each other in every intersection. All roads and 
paths are both: a surface, and a connection. It's an inherent consequence of 
the osm data model, where roads are represented as ways. There are necessarily 
areas that fall within the "width" of several different ways.
 
Even in practice, you couldn't park right in front of the part of driveway on 
the private property, as you would be said to be blocking the driveway 
(regardless of whether parking is allowed anywhere within that example area). 
The connection that must not be blocked, exists from the plot boundary to the 
road lanes.
