No footpaths, lights, tarmac or road markings but freely available to drive along.
It's a track ... but the current definition prevents it's use. Adding other tags 
to 'service' is wrong as well as its servicing anywhere, and unclassified has a 
similar incongruity. Many of them have been at least hardcored, but even then 
'road' just seems too grand a title for a track.
