[Talk-GB] Unclassified and Tertiary Roads

[Richard Mann]

If in doubt, unclassified. Use tertiary if it's consistently built to a
cars-can-pass-one-another-easily standard (which usually means a clear
through route between main roads, or the access route to a significant
village).

Might be different in parts of Britain where even main roads get to be
single track, though.
