Just looking at some attributes... The alleyway/lane is currently mapped as highway:service. I would suggest that highway:service is more appropriate. Here's the description for a sevice road:
Generally for access to a building, motorway service station, beach, campsite, industrial estate, business park, etc.. This is also commonly used for access to parking and trash collection. Sometimes called an alley, particularly in the US. Local/unknown is currently mapped to highway:service. This should probably be highway:road. where that is described as: Road with an unknown classification. This tag should be used temporarily until the road has been properly surveyed. Once it is surveyed the highway tag should be changed to record the appropriate classification. Rapid Transit is currently mapped to highway:bus_guideway. I'm thinking railway:light_rail, at least in Edmonton, our rapid transit system is a light rail transit system. Perhaps other areas of Canada have a rubber tire based guided transit system. When working on another GeoBase to public map project, I ended up making Freeway and Expressway map to the same road type, with Highway mapped to the next lower level. There's no mapping to highway:trunk. I'd have to dig into the NRN deeper to look at sample roads and tags again, but I think our top level roads would map to highway:motorway. This would include such entities as the Queen Elizabeth II Highway (#2) between Edmonton and Calgary, although in some areas the restricted access limits don't quite apply. In Alberta, we haven't tagged anything as highway:motorway. Our top level tag is highway:trunk. This GeoBase/OSM project could work to unify the tagging across the country! What about Freeway -> highway:motorway, Expressway -> highway:trunk, Highway -> highway:primary?
