FWIW I've now replaced several occurrences of highway=unsurfaced in the UK
(thanks to Steve's very timely rendering), starting in areas I know
personally (West Oxfordshire and Rutland), and not a single one would be
described as a road in the UK.
I added some several years ago. I've changed some to highway=*,
surface=unpaved where I've mapped that way again since - but I seem to
remember almost all of them were unadopted (i.e. private, not maintained by
the council) residential roads where tarmac had never been layed. I'll see
if I can get around to changing these near me.
