I respectfully disagree. That is only the case where a country has a class of roads they label or call "Unclassified". In Alaska and Thailand, where I do the bulk of my mapping, an unclassified highway is just that, it is a highway having no classification. I consider it higher in the hierarchy than a residential and lower than a tertiary, although some opinions may differ. Whether paved or unpaved makes no difference. As long as it connects towns or hamlets in a reasonable manner, then it is an unclassified highway.
