Whats what I've learned while Operation Cowboy. In Europe this isn't really critical, because mainly buildings are next to the road. In US this is different in rural areas. There are houses in the middle of nowhere. What would a user assume? Routing ends at highway, where driveway starts or at the end of driveway? I'm mapping in Wyoming and there I've seen sometimes very long driveways [ http://mc.bbbike.org/mc/?lon=-105.10806&lat=41.83972&zoom=16&num=1&mt0=mapni... ] so I espect a routing to end of driveway.
it's not just the west. here is a spot (about 1 mile from my home in upstate NY) which is a good example of the rural US: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=42.61604&lon=-73.59272&zoom=17&layers=M richard
