Hello, ChaireMobiliteKaligrafy!
My name is Gaurav and I’m a mapper in the OSM team at Lyft.
Currently, within the scope of our projects, we do not incorporate access tags, with a few exceptions. I fully understand what you mean by "bypass traffic" and why access tags are beneficial for mapping. Thank you for your suggestion and for providing such a detailed explanation. Your approach appears logical; however, we are not confident that it aligns with the vision of the entire OSM community. Specifically, the use of a private tag for residential areas — how is prevalent this practice within OSM? We will discuss your proposal and may reconsider our existing policy. I have added access to the roads in the changeset https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/170612720 as this is a relatively undisputed case. However, the process of reviewing the policy may take some time, and there is a possibility that we may adhere to the current policy. I appreciate your understanding in this matter.


Best regards!
