I had never heard of "pipestem", but the actual key name isn't really
relevant - any more than say "sidewalk" in Australia.
The wiki definition for "pipestem" is "shared driveway", which is what
we're looking to help distinguish from single driveway (service=driveway).

As Graeme says, that appears to be highway=residential.

Hi
The possibility of retagging user HighRouleur's highway= service
service=driveway ways to highway= service service=driveway
driveway=pipestem
occurred to me as well. But I have never heard of a pipestem before.
Maybe its something that is only done in the US? My thought was that if
I don't fully understand a tag I shouldn't be using it. Does a pipestem
describe https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/203549225 better than the
simpler
highway= service? I think I prefer highway= service

In doing the rounds of the Willoughby LGA, I've noticed there are quite
a lot of shared driveways. This has likely come about from where one
previously large block has been subdivided - sometimes multiple times.
Each block typically has access to the main road via a narrow strip of
land, on which the shared driveway sits.
The service=driveway tag is "a minor service road leading to a specific
property", so isn't really appropriate for driveways leading to
multiple properties.
So I've started tagging some of these as driveway=pipestem, as per the
wiki:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:service%3Ddriveway#Pipestems
What do people think?
The wiki also suggests service=pipestem as an alternative, but I prefer
service=driveway + driveway=pipestem as it's more compatible with
existing tagging - for most intents, if a shared driveway is
rendered/routed as a driveway, that should be acceptable.
An example:

Enable the DCS NSW Base Map in ID editor if you want to see the strips
of land via which each property has access to Fullers Rd.
