I agree with Andrew's tagging guidelines update. I was never happy with
tagging a way as a "living street" when it was obviously a driveway with
a sign slapped onto it to basically say "drivers, please be careful,
pedestrians might cross at any spot".
On rendered data, it often makes it look like the area is a lot more
active travel-friendly and "enjoyable to hang out on" than it actually
is on the ground...

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:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/216566993
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
Graeme
