I see a lot of highway=residential being converted to highway=service by Ola, could we discuss if this is appropriate? highway=service is only for denoting roads which provide access to individual services (like petrol bunks) or for fire access, driveways, etc. It doesn't really make sense to mark residential roads inside gated communities as highway=service, especially in larger gated communities, or even larger tech parks. Even in other countries the same tagging rules seem to apply, where highway=service is reserved for roads providing services. The access tag is already denoting if a road is public or not, so I don't think changing the road type is necessary too

IMO highway=living_street should be used for almost all roads in gated communities (both if it's apartments or single-family homes)
In business/industrial parks it would be a combination of highway=residential and highway=service roads depending on the layout of the road network internal to the business/industrial park.

living_street implies pedestrian priority roads, its meant for a legal designation. But in some countries its also used to designate narrow roads. It doesn't really apply to roads inside gated communities - these are the same as any non-gated community road, they're just access=private. For industrial/business parks, the wiki does suggest this, but different countries seem to choose different schemes. For e.g. in the Netherlands I found highway=unclasified being used instead of residential

I'm curious if there are any pedestrian priority roads in India? Even Church Street, which is what I think is the closest to a pedestrian priority road in Bangalore, has been tagged as highway=residential with highway=footway ways tagged on both sides of the actual road.

Yeah, we have discussed this before on the group. Devdatta explained the hierarchy they are using in Ola.
