How do you then tag roads that are smaller than unclassified, are narrower or have lesser importance? If they're a residential street, residential. If they're a service road (drive, road into industrial estate), service. All other minor roads would be unclassified. These could be country lanes

If you check: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tagging_samples/out_of_town There is a clear definition on what unclassified is, and that are only really unimportant roads, so to say. That's the second time you've quoted that page. Once mentioning it talks about residential roads, and now
