In rural areas where I have spent time people often only put gravel where
the wheels contract the ground, and leave the middle part of the road/track
as is (which is often grass/short native vegetation).  This is done to save
money. The result is that from overhead imagery, it may appear not to be
gravel, and thus may be incorrectly tagged at a lower tracktype.
