    Some (but very few) "BOAT"s near me say "service road" to you when
    you look at them; most just say "track" or even "bridleway".  The
    only "unclassified" ones I can find are as a result of some
    newbie's* mapping and probably could benefit from a resurvey to see
    if they're best described as service roads or something else.  I
    certainly wouldn't use highway=road if I'd been and had a look, as
    that implies that no survey has taken place.<br>
    <br>
    Essentially - map the physical and legal attributes separately; but
    map both as accurately as you can.<br>
