Not sure what will be the best fix. Add "street" to aliases/search terms for residential, unclassified and maybe service? Any other road types?

This issue is a follow-up on https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/5103 (2018).

I have personally found this mapping mistake is/was common in at least Morocco. (where this classification might not exist)

There has been at least one case mentioned in a discussion where many residential streets were incorrectly tagged as living street while having no explicit signage for the classification but it is unclear if it is because of the presentation of this preset.
