I have been to African countrys where even primarys dont have lights, tarmac or road markings - still they are primary roads, officially on the maps. Classification of roads only mean something to their appearence in local context. This is the reason there is no highway=unpaved - It might be a long distance primary or a service road. This would make a huge difference in routing preference. Classification e.g. highway= is meant to be used for routing preferences, whereas additional tags may describe the physical representation of the road. That this is not yet visually shown in the maps is bad luck but no reason to abuse the track. > It's a track ... but the current definition prevents it's use. > Adding other tags to 'service' is wrong as well as its servicing > anywhere, and unclassified has a similar incongruity.
