I have a similar situation.
I have tagged many numbered, but unpaved, roads on the
Navajo reservation as "tertiary." They aren't "unmaintained," because
they are plowed by the Navajo Nation, but with varying degrees of regularity.
The whole road system there has been getting better
steadily, but there still are roads that are questionable as
"tertiary," despite having numbers. So, I'm regularly downgrading
some of those to "unclassified," as I discover them. I think that is
the best practice for this area.

It would be really helpful if there were one single place where US common

perhaps someone sensible on this list might like to?
Is there *anyone* that actually can speak to what *is* common practice
in the US? When I've asked, I've always drawn a lot of replies and come
away more confused than before.
Of course, a lot of what I map is in a gray area where 'tertiary,'
'residential', 'unclassified' and 'track' tend to have blurred boundaries,
and 4WD vehicles are strongly recommended. The road where I'm parked
in

is a signed and
numbered county highway, but I couldn't bring myself to tag it 'tertiary.'
