The trouble is that you are merging the distinction between "highway"
and "access". Your example above would, to me, indicate a way for use by
single-tracked vehicles and therefore not something that you'd attempt
to drive a car along.

I've done this sort of thing a lot for what is known in England as a
"byway open to all traffic" where you have the legal right to drive a
motorcar but often the condition of the way has become so bad that it
is physically impossible for any dual-tracked vehicle to do so.
