Am i so wrong? > It depends how you define "residential usage." Years ago, my walk to work (from a bus stop) took me along a mile of unclassified road. I actually saw a planning order pinned to a telephone pole referring to it as U1234 (the real number has been changed to protect the innocent), so I know it was officially unclassified. About halfway along was a cluster of three or four cottages. Some people would map that as a residential area, although there were no signs indicating it was a named hamlet. I wouldn't class that as a residential road, not even the brief section with the cottages. It's an unclassified road with some houses and that's how I'd map it. Residential areas, to me, are named localities. -- Paul
