+1, I agree. I don't think you can asume that they are all
unclassified, roads without paving tend to be tracks in most locations
I have mapped. You cannot even be sure it is not a highway=path, so
road would be the best "intermediate" classification IMHO. I wouldn't
attach the note either (though it might not harm) as road already is
asking for re-survey.
