in the countryside  I map either driveways (on private property) or access 
roads to “things” (e.g. smaller power facilities) as service, but I use hw 
service and service=alley for very small public ways which do not have access 
restrictions but width doesn’t permit using them with a car (or hardly), 
typically I add a width tag (or maxwidth if there is a sign). I am writing 
about historic context mostly, these ways might be used by the locals to access 
their house with small vehicles (e.g. for loading) and motorcycles, and they 
are public roads in terms of property and maintenance. Often they are 
interrupted by steps though (so they won’t be used for through traffic besides 
pedestrians).

TL;DR;
yes, besides service=alley which are public roads.


cheers,
Martin
