No, perhaps that was a bad example as I wasn't explicit.
I would do this:
"No administrative classification. Rural roads typically form the lowest form
of the non-Urban interconnecting grid network."
Anything non-connecting would be almost a service road?

People are reading the meaning of unclassified as a rung higher than
residential, and treating residential as access=destination. Which might be
fine in Europe but residential roads are used as interconnecting roads in a lot
of Australia. Councils and the like just don't plan major through fares very
well they just tend to upgrade them if people use them a lot, or that's what it
seems to me.
So I'm suggesting to make highway=unclassified as:
"No administrative classification. Unclassified roads typically form the form
of the interconnecting grid network of residential and other Urban road ways."
