Should this be highway/service or highway/residential or ?

Hi folks, first post, keen to get started on mapping.

Been having a look at my suburb, and not sure how to handle the following.

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-41.1253205&lon=175.0860565&zoom=18&layers=Q&mlat=-41.12525&mlon=175.08565%22%3EView

https://maps.google.co.nz/?ll=-41.125223,175.085941&spn=0.001012,0.002642&t=h&z=19

Cul-de-sac, with access roads running of in 4 directions:

  • between no 3 and 9
  • between no 9 and 13 toward 11
  • between no 10 and 15, toward 16
  • between no 4 and 10, toward 8

How do you tag these ? Are the service roads, residential roads. Should I use the driveway=pipestem tag ?

Thanks,
Eben

Hello,

From looking at it in Bing I’d say highway=service, service=driveway. They serve as access to particular properties and not to the general area.
