I don't know laughing at is all that appropriate. Al Mar (I assume
that's a he?) is so earnest; it would be like kicking a puppy.

If you read past the "Romantic" (pinched from you) introduction; and the
strange grammar; and the strange spelling (Germanic influence?), I do
think there is a very good point being raised. The road classifications
don't work very well in the country - any country. "Track" has too many
pernicious overtones to be usable under any circumstances.

In hindsight, I wish a system of use-density had been adopted along the
lines of (suggest logarithmic scale):

        G: ..
        H: ..
        I: <Less than 1 vehicle per week>
        J: <Up to 1 vehicle per day>
        K: <Up to 1 vehicle per hour>
        M: <Up to 1 vehicle per minute>
        N: <Up to 1 vehicle per second>
        O: ..
        P: ..

Secondary roads would probably rate lever O: or above. Antarctic
outlying remote monitored stations G: or below...

My 2c (after adjustment for inflation, &c.)
