Do you agree that it should be tagged residential despite the 60km/h
speed limit?

So should it be tertiary?

The 50km/h speed limit tag was done by a bot, it's often inaccurate and
should be disregarded and/or corrected in these cases. Don't let the
50km/h tag influence your considerations on whether to tag a road
residential or not.

In the ACT 50km/h is the default if there are no signs. NSW posts "50
km/h area" signs around the place to cover all roads within that area.
Not sure about other states that I rarely visit. In any case, you're
right that it's hard to know without some local presence.
