+1 for service, while tracks may actually “go somewhere”, they might be usable 
as through ways, but they are not considered “roads“ in some jurisdictions at 
least.

service roads are for accessing something (are not part of the connection 
grid), while tracks may (according to the regional situation) form a kind of 
„second grid“ (for agricultural purposes, but eventually open to cyclists, 
hikers, etc. as well).
