Most logging roads, certainly in BC, are private. While they look large, and 
make tempting additions to the map, accidentally routing traffic along them 
could be fatal. Logging trucks don't (can't!) stop, and unless you have 
authorization and the right radio to call in the checkpoints, the controller 
won't be able to tell you if there's a truck coming that you need to get out of 
the way of.

CanVec also mistakenly digitized a bunch of private wind farm access roads in 
Ontario, such as https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/39334427 .
While using these might not be life-threatening, it is trespassing to use them.

cheers,
 Stewart
