I too have been using service=driveway for the non-parking highway=service roads found in parking areas. It wasn’t until this discussion came up that I realized the wiki said there should be no service=* tag for those. It seems to me that any highway=service ought to have a service=* tag. Whether the specific case being discussed needs a new service=parking_access tag or if service=driveway is okay would be the discussion I’m interested in. To Tom’s point, I think a roads for many commercial areas would have a big grey area in deciding between driveway and parking_access as often the route to the main entrance and/or loading docks is indistinguishable from the other roads in the area that simply service parking.
