Simply marking things as tracks isn't enough as cars are able to drive along some tracks, but for clearence reasons they won't be able to drive down a 4wd_only track.

High ground clearance required?
More 4WD vehicles are appearing nowadays, but it's not always clear what they 
are actually capable off. So 4WD_Only is not really the correct terminology 
and does not clearly identify the problem? IS it ground clearance, deep fords, 
mud or poor traction conditions ...
