I just did a search on part of Mozambique and came across more than

I always understood them to be a European concept highway with signs
on the street and a very low max speed. I wouldn't have expected to
see so many clustered together in Mozambique.
Idle curiosity are they a legal entity in Mozambique and other parts
of Africa?
A while ago
(https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-fr/2013-August/061580.html)
I started a thread about usage of highway=living_street in Africa. The
resulting consensus was that, while unpaved residential streets in
Africa are living streets in practice, they are not legally classified
that way - and therefore the correct tagging is highway=residential...
But participants in the thread were mostly experienced with
French-speaking Africa - so I cannot rule out the existence of a
living street legal classification in other locales.

Another possibility is a combination:
highway=service plus service=alley

for example here:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/230413004#map=14/46.6890/31.1548
These are not really residential streets like in a city, which are a
shown on the map with strong lines.
