[Talk-GB] driveway-becomes-track

Yes, however the reasoning for this is that sometimes someone has drawn every single driveway on a street in a city/town. 
Rendering this at low zoom levels would clutter the map. By contrast, tracks are often much more sparsely populated, so they don't clutter the map.

I don't know what the solution to this would be, however.
