2. driveways (private property) -> service=driveway + access=private
This seems pretty clear cut in residential areas. It also seems fairly
clear for small business/industrial property that are for
employees/business vehicles only.
Where it gets a bit confusing is if the driveway is to something else.
For example, in the Willoughby area, there are many industrial complexes
which have "driveways". But if it leads to parking (amenity=parking?),
is it still a driveway, or is it just highway=service without service=*.
The access=* issues also interplays with this - because in larger
industrial complexes there may be a mix of access=private and
access=customers.
Can you post examples? In my opinion, a good rule of thumb for driveway is
where you need to turn off the road and cross the footpath. I realise it's
not always clear though.
Technically only the section inside the front fence is private, the section
between the footpath and road is public but I've never mapped to this level
of detail.
This is an example of a residential driveway (highway=service +
service=driveway) that I would add access=private to. I agree with your
comment about only the section inside the property actually being
private, but that distinction really only becomes important once
footpaths are more frequently mapped as highway=footway + footway=sidewalk

This is an example of an industrial complex that has driveways (or
access roads?) leading to numerous small businesses. Currently
highway=service, no access or service tags. Access is not clear to me

This is an example of an industrial area driveway (highway=service +
service=driveway) that I would add access=private to (local knowledge).

This is an example of an industrial complex that has a mix (6 ways
total) of highway=service, highway=service + service=parking_aisle and
highway=service + service=driveway(!). Signs at the gate describe it as
a "road-related area" which I believe means that it is accessible by the
public - though I don't think that necessarily extends to any parking.
