- Is service a street category below unclassified/residential?

  valid?

in the countryside  I map either driveways (on private property) or access 
roads to “things” (e.g. smaller power facilities) as service,

A 'driveway' in country Australia can be 100kms long... I usually use 
unclassified for them... they tend to be the same physically as the local 
'unclassified' roads.

  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),

I mark back lanes in cities and towns with service, alley if I remember .. they 
are usable by public cars .. and trucks if they can manage the turns.
Typically these lanes were created to 'service' 'night soil' retrieval before 
sewers were put in.
