My part of the world has a lot of ribbon villages: a small number of houses (typically around 10)clustered along a road connecting two towns/villages. That road might be a primary, secondary or tertiary route, a minor road or an unclassified road. I wouldn't classify it as residential even when, as in some cases, speed limits are lowered where it passes through the village. In the same way, there is a secondary route passing through the centre of my town. If it weren't also a secondary route it would be classed as residential, but it's a secondary route and referred to as such on maps. OTOH, there are many residential roads in my town which aren't dead ends. Which means you can use them to avoid the secondary route passing through town. That doesn't make them an unclassified route, though. -- Paul
