<div>Great job! Two remarks:</div>
1.
<div>Recreation is mentioned twice: first in "outdoor
recreation" (track recommended) and second in "recreation
grounds" (use service instead).
<div>I'm not British enough to know if outdoor recreation is
sufficiently different from recreation grounds. But hey,
that probably goes for most of the world! In my mind,
outdoor recreation often takes place on recreation grounds.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2.</div>
<div>"Low importance roads" in the definition: that is, from a
certain viewpoint. In other respects, a track can be very
important, e.g. in terms of damages if it's blocked. Maybe
just say minor roads, as you do a few times later on? <br>

<p>Low importance roads may become very important .. say in a flood,
fire or landslip. <br>
</p>
<p>Possibly 'normally low traffic' ? If 'important' then would it
not have an appropriate traffic level? <br>

<div>All good points raised. Let me just provide some
context for why I chose certain phrases.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In an earlier draft I used the phrase "minor land
access roads". I received feedback that the word
minor may not be clear enough when translated into
other languages so I changed it to "low importance
land access roads". "low usage" could also work but I
think "minor" or "low importance" is preferable. It
really is about the relative importance in the road
network in the same way we decide if unclassified,
tertiary, secondary, etc is appropriate. track is of
lower importance to the network than these other
classifications.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Re: "regular road network". This is indeed vague,
but it does seem to be a concept that many mappers
have in their minds. I received feedback stating that
track roads are something less than a regular road,
not part of the public network, and various other
statements to that effect. It sounds like in Germany
there is even a legal distinction between "roads"
(Straße) and "ways" (Wege). In other countries it
seems to be more of a general idea separating "roads
everyone uses" from "ways that aren't quite roads but
some motor vehicles use". Perhaps there is a better
way to phrase it, but I think this additional
qualification beyond simply "land access roads" is
useful. There are roads in remote areas of North
America that could easily be considered "land access
roads" because there is nothing but open land around
them, but track is not the appropriate classification
as they do serve as a connection between very distant
towns. <br>
