Hey Graeme,
While I understand your reasoning about naming the driveways, but I
don't believe it is a good idea.
It isn't really the name of the roadway. By analogy, a sign saying
"Entrance" at a hotel wouldn't make name of the driveway "Entrance". A
numbered letter box next to a driveway is an entrance sign in a
different form.
Perhaps a relation with type 'entrance' would be the most appropriate
way to capture this connection from street->building?

Hi
I see that you have named the driveways. How does this sit with

I don't "think" it goes against the grain of anything listed there?
No, driveways aren't (usually) signposted, but there will usually be a
mail box beside them saying "32" - is that good enough to use as a
street sign?
As mentioned, I did it that way to help people find the property - if
there's overwhelming objection to it, I'll stop!
Thanks

Graeme - are you saying that you are tagging them all the same? Just

separate ways?
Yep.
Here's one that I did recently:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/-28.07919/153.23456, which was
apparently a single property that was sub-divided.
(Notes: I've just repositioned 32b's driveway as new imagery shows it
further over to the side, & 32d could have it's own short stub, but
it's
not visible)
Anybody (particularly Emergency Services!) can see that to get to 32
you go
down here, & B is over there, C down that way, D right beside the
road & A
is right up the end.
"32" is a service=driveway (+ access=private) from the road in to the
A / C
junction, & each of the other three are exactly the same from 32 to
each
house.
Thanks
Graeme
