my duck-test would go like this: if a road is serving to connect a place
(e.g. a hamlet, village) and is used by people going to this place then it
is at least unclassified, if instead it is used only by farmers to access
their fields, then it is a track.

I don't know what "the physical appearance of a track" is, as I have seen
all kinds of them, from perfectly paved with smooth surface to very uneven
grass track hardly recognizable.

cheers,
Martin
