The reason designation=unclassified_county_road is described as obsolete on
Robert's page is that there is legally no such thing
It might not be a legal designation but its what it is called in many highway
authorities (county councils) so it seems pretty official to me.
e.g http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/unclassifiedroads
I do think UCRs deserve a separate designation, but I don't care what it is.
Why not designation=ucr? Then there's less chance of misspelling it.
As well as Warwickshire, they are also visible on the online map that is
provided by Worcestershire County Council:
http://gis.worcestershire.gov.uk/website/Countryside/
For example, there is one labelled "21563(D)" at:
eastings-northings: 395587,274158
grid-reference: SO955741
lon-lat (WGS84): 52.365455,-2.066234
The online map calls them "Unclassified Road (green lane)" whereas
Worcestershire's dataset uses "UUCR" (meaning "unsealed, unclassified
county road").
The dataset for Worcestershire has 78 UUCRs.
