The wiki suggests you should use the addr tags instead:
addr:street=Jardine Road
addr:housenumber=32
addr:unit=a/b/c or leave off for common driveway
I have tried this in the past, but validation tools complained.
I'm not sure if it is acceptable to set an address on a driveway.

Hi
I see that you have named the driveways. How does this sit with
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only>
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
