Either service should mean "one level below unclassified" and soften
the wording even more ("generally" to "in many cases", for example),
or unclassified shall drop requirement for motorcars and suggesting
service for "narrow paved roads w/ private motorcar access". I'd
support the latter: I would rather use unclassified here, but that's
an opinion.
I would tend to use service when it's either not a government-maintained
road or it's not named and has no ref. Service roads can be named/have a
ref, of course, but this is by far the exception not the rule. I agree
completely on the motorcar requirement being dropped as unclassified
would otherwise arguably fit some bicycle roads quite well.
Related to this, I've been tagging the driveways inside apartment
complexes as service, but a lot of mappers tag them as residential.
These roads are more similar to shopping mall driveways than the type of
road I would normally tag as residential; also note they almost never
have names and are almost never tagged as noname=yes when mapped as
residential. For a lot of purposes apartments are often considered
commercial properties for many purposes (eligibility for city/county
garbage collection, among others) even though they are places where
people live long term.
