To be honest, if a road has no classification, and is made of mud and gravel,
it's a track... If it's an official road in some way, then clearly it is
classified ;)

Actually, the conclusion, while it involved that, also involved that there are
potential other uses (e.g. on river=intermittent; stream=intermittent etc) that
