Generally for access to a building, motorway service station, beach, campsite, industrial estate, business park, etc.
This is also commonly used for access to parking, driveways, and alleys.

Note: This is not the way to tag a frontage road, sometimes called a service road. That should be tagged with one of the other highway=* values, depending on what function the frontage road serves.

How to map

ElementWay.png

To map service ways nothing else than a simple way is required. Add the highway=service tag to it and a name=* if appropriate.
To define a service way in more detail, see Key:service.
