As you've described it, I generally agree with Andrew's suggestions. I do also think that expected local conditions matter; I've mapped some old woods roads that are primarily used by Jeep and ATV traffic at this point. Generally speaking, folks traveling those types of roads expect to find varying conditions, including the possibility of deadfall. Many, if not most, carry at least a hand saw. On those types of roads, I don't generally try to keep track of deadfall, as it tends to be there until someone happens to come through with a saw; if I see evidence of somewhat-recent (i.e. last 12 months) cutting, I tend to ignore deadfall that happened to land since then.
