highway=unclassified is a truly awful tag. I believe it made sense in the
UK, where that's an actual category of road, but it's very hard to apply
here, and it's really not clear what the difference between unclassified,
residential, and service is. I see people using unclassified for roads
within business parks, factories, airports etc but I don't think it's right.

And like you said, what difference is there really between a road that goes
past factories and one that goes past homes?
