   I agree that rural areas with tracks need to be manually corrected, 
but that's more of an issue in some areas than others.   I'm wondering 
about the typical small town or suburb with reasonable geometry, this

   Perhaps another tertiary or 2, but everything else would remain 
residential except for the driveways.
