TIGER drew thousands of driveways that are often simply wrong. They are

Looking around the country, I notice some areas where they were removed,
changed to service roads, drawn de novo, and one area (near Rosebud, OR)
where they were inexplicably changed to living_street, which they just
aren't.
I change them to type 'driveway' highway=service/service=driveway
when it's clear that's what they are. If they're in the wrong place
with wrong geometry, then it's OK to delete them.
I think driveways do belong in OSM - we're not necessarily like other
maps. If they're cluttering the main map, then it's a rendering issue
that can be submitted on the bug tracker. However they aren't the
default tagging as imported from TIGER (highway=residential / possibly
private).

I don't know of any automated solutions for this. If they really
follow a driveway, I'd rather see them changed to type driveway rather
than a deletion.
