Likewise. That said...
A few things, though: The immediate curtilage of a house is presumed to be private; at least in the US, one does not drive or walk directly up to someone's house without having business there. (Someone making a delivery, obviously, has business there.)
...this seems to be the definition of access=destination? Is that the recommended way to tag residential driveways?
I haven't had any trouble getting OSMand to navigate to a house on a road marked `access=private`. It pops up a warning that my destination is on a private road, and asks whether it's OK to route over it - and then does so happily.
My car does this, and doesn't even ask. It just warns me that "this route uses private roads". I generally assume that's talking about the final leg and ignore it.
I'm perfectly willing to believe that overzealous application of 'private' breaks _some_ routing engines, but 'breaks routing for everyone' is a bit hyperbolic.
Yup. That said, it does seem like access=destination is more correct for ways that aren't explicitly access-restricted?
