I can get behind that.

This is vey confusing to me. I understood it before the big hullabaloo over the 
track classification system change, where track Grade 1 and Residential / 
service / driveway begins now really confusing. Grade 3 roads (usually 
doubletrack with grass growing down the middle) is easy. 

Here, tell me what you think:

here is an intersection where a grade3 track meats a rice service road. in the 
distance, you cans see the unclassified road to the east.

They go nowhere except back to the unclassified road.  But it is a paved and 
maintained public road with retaining walls and guardrails where there is a 
drain ditch. 

To me, tagging these as track muddies track really badly. they plainly are not 
tracks. 

I have ridden abandoned roads that are now tracks with asphalt, and I have 
driven maintained unclassified and residential roads which are compacted gravel.

what would you suggest Paul?
