I'd say that a track only exists because vehicles have passed that way,
and will only exist while vehicles continue to use it (which in some
ways implies it's unfenced), whereas an unsurfaced/dirt service road has
been constructed in some way, even if it's not been sealed or metalled.

Does that help?
