Which one were you thinking of?  I count two road types in your list: 
highway=track and highway=unclassified.  And it could be other highway=* 
types too.

It’s still better to use highway=road even if it turns out to be a 
bridleway, because highway=road is basically “we don’t know what it is, 
only that there’s something there; this needs to be (re-)surveyed”.
