We should focus on the properties of the track, rather than its use.
Plenty of people use bush tracks for their morning commute, and the
recreational nature of some of these tracks shouldn't make us tag them any
differently.

Tag what is on the ground, and pedestrians, bushwalkers, or anyone else can
decide if they are suitable for their purpose.
