There may be a caveat here regarding the use of 'unclassified' - at
least in the UK where it tends to have a specific meaning, i.e. C-roads
and below (the ones usually rendered yellow on OS mapping), rather than
its straightforward meaning of 'not otherwise specified'. Clearly there
is room here for national / regional differences and I am not
suggesting a definitive answer.<br>
<br>
However, I would not use 'unclassified' for the above reason nor
'residential' if there were no houses and it was rural rather than
urban. I would normally go for track - but add sufficient further tags
(tracktype= and/or surface=) to make the physical condition clearer.
This also helps with the rendering - although we don't map fr the
renderer do we <span class="moz-smiley-s3"><span> ;-) </span></span><span
