Hey Graeme,
Spotting your change certainly reminded me of the shared zone signs I've
been seeing, but not because it is tagged incorrectly. It's been on my
to do list since I nearly got run over eating a Bunnings sausage over
Xmas!
I think that this is a good example of a true "living street"; it would
not have been a service road if not signed as a shared zone, and is
intended to be shared space to encourage pedestrian traffic.
Similar examples I am familiar with include Fitzroy St, St Kilda at
Acland Street; Kananook Creek Boulevard South in Frankston between
Playne and Davey; and Hardware Lane, Melbourne, at the Bourke Street
Carpark.
I have noticed that a lot of "true" living streets in Melbourne are busy
roads that have been handed back to pedestrian traffic, or are in new,
sterilised (soulless) places like Docklands.

This discussion started in response to something that I mapped.
I was clearing a note / Inspector issue nearby & wondered why this
street appeared differently on the map:

Had a look & it was tagged as a service-alley which just didn't seem
right, but neither did =residential, so I changed it to =tertiary
(=unclassified may have been better?).
Question was raised as to whether it should be, so I've now changed it
to =living_street pending outcome of these discussions.
Here it is FYI:

So what do we think it should be?
Thanks
