</div>OSMers seem to agree that they need all of them.<br>
<br>
* Tracktype at least for more or less unimportant tracks,<br>
* Surface for the material of surface of the road<br>
* Smoothness at least for ways whose smoothness doesn't match the<br>
  smoothness one would expect when looking at the surface=value<br>
<br>
How else would you describe an asphalted road like this?:<br>
