Where do you take this assumption from? I have never heard before that residential may not be used for through traffic? The opposite is described in highway=residential: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dresidential This tag is used for roads accessing or around residential areas. This is a useful guideline if you are not sure whether to use residential or unclassified for streets in towns: residential β street or road generally used for local traffic within settlement. unclassified β Unclassified roads typically form the lowest form of the interconnecting grid network (below highway=tertiary roads). Roads serving for interconnection of small settlements. Use residential rather than unclassified on the road section if there are traffic restrictions (such as slower speed limits) or traffic calming features near small settlements. (See also highway=unclassified.) So in case of residential usage, reduced speed limit (city boundary?) or traffic calming one should rather use residential than unclassified. I agree that living_street is not for through traffic - thats even in German legalese. Flo -- Florian Lohoff f...@zz.de UTF-8 Test: The π ran after a π, but the π ran away
