I'm not sure much can be done about the situation. Verifiability depends on one person's subjective assessment of the smoothness of a road. The illustration in the Wiki of a road that is "impassable" can be negotiated by a skilled rider on a mountain bike.
During the discussion of this topic someone suggested trying to make a quantitative measurement of smoothness by attaching some sort of gyroscope or accelerometer to a vehicle's bumper in order to produce a number.
