[Tagging] Narrowing the application range of the smoothness tags

[Szem]

Hi,
A few years ago I started collecting pictures of typical pavements I 
took on our bike tours with GoPro. I uploaded some of them here: 
https://szembiketeam.imgbb.com/
I also wanted to make a much clearer system, I just didn’t have enough 
time for it.  Over the years, more than 10,000 pictures have been taken, 
if necessary I can search for a type in it if I have been through one.
I also created an excel spreadsheet that summarizes pavements and 
tracktypes.I will gladly rework or even supplement if necessary.
