Agreed. And, I see a huge distinction between a "real legal road" that to first order anyone may drive on (even if some have access=destination rules) and "service roads" which are often entirely private and do not have legal road layouts (as reflected in the registry of deeds/cadastre). Around me there is usually no right of access to service roads. As another data point, if you have a car crash on a real road, you are required to file an accident report with the police but if it is in a parking lot etc. you are not. So I don't know about the OP's country's laws, but I would suggest looking at legal definitions of roads, and tending to unclassified for legal roads and service for things that are not legally roads, if that makes sense locally. In Massachusetts, US, it totally makes sense.
