I can't follow you here, maybe it's a language problem? "Grid network"
is not used to distinguish different network types, there is only one
"grid road network"=all the connection roads in the world. To me that
sentence makes perfectly sense. If I had to explain in other words
what it means I'd say: unclassified are the lowest kind of "connection
roads" in the road network.

that's what the above sentence implies: residentials and tracks are
not part of the "interconnecting grid network".
