But I think this direction of discussion misses the point. The point was how to classify certain types of roads (unpaved connection and residential roads). tracks are a type of road set up for agricultural (i.e. local traffic of who works in the fields or forests or goes fishing) traffic. If there are other reasons for a road to be (i.e. connection for "ordinary" traffic, access to a plant or other technical installation) the highway class should be chosen differently. A residential road can well be unpaved in some parts of Germany as well, but that doesn't make it a track. In remote zones in Italy there are provincial roads (i.e. roads of the network maintained by the provinces) that aren't paved and are so narrow that 2 cars only at some spots can pass, but that doesn't make them a track. cheers, Martin
