It can be regularly maintained and not be a track...it's not necessarily
opportunistic, and not necessarily single-lane...not even necessarily
unpaved.

When I am not sure what to call something, I just tag it as highway=road
to indicate that it's *some* sort of road, I'm just not sure what to
call it.  This trips most validators as highway=road is considered a
temporary tag...
