See discussion page on wiki. Winter roads aren't agricultural and span
long distances, they don't fit highway=track description.
We use secondary/tertiary/unclassified tags for them, according to their
importance. A route that is the only communication line for a large town
can't be called a track, it is a highway, even if it doesn't work during
entire year.

Don't map for renderer! :) Renderer/software should know about this tag.
