It's supposed to be modeled after the british road system. If the class exists only in the UK and you're a strictie, then you should not use it outside the UK.
If you are a non-strictie then you can use the classification únclassified' for comparable roads, i.e. a class of connecting road in the public grid, above residential and below tertiary. Residential is meant to give access to neighbourhoods and houses within a residential area, as its primary function. A road outside a residential area can have lots of houses along it's length, but the primary function is connecting roads to roads, roads to residential areas, or interconnecting residential areas. I think that is "unclassified", even where there is no official classification. So my hierarchy is: ...>tertiary>unclassified>residential>living_street Woudn't mind calling it quaternary though. Would probably solve the issue. Of course this will never happen. No consensus, too much work.
