Hi all,
I've see an increased use of block paving as a road surface on new
housing developments. Example image:

How are people tagging these? At first I wondered about the
highway=living_street tag but the wiki page suggests these should be
signposted and have special regulations:

I guess highway=residential and surface=paving_stones is most suitable
unless someone has some better suggestions?
I don't think the road surface really matters as to whether or not it is
a living street.
What is more relevant:
Are there any pavements, are they separated by kerbs? Or are people
encouraged to walk along/across the road, ie "shared space".
Is there a low speed limit. ie 20mph or less?
Any traffic calming to slow vehicles down, eg speed bumps, or chicanes.
Or street furniture, ie trees, bollards, benches on the road.
