In Japan and Korea, do you tend to have isolated farmhouses, each on its own farm (the most common pattern in the USA), or do the farmers tend to settle in villages, from which they travel out to their farms (the traditional European format)? Another pattern in the US, among small communities that have grown up since the invention of automobiles, is settlements strung out along a highway, several miles long, but one-dimensional, with farmland behind both rows of houses. These patterns make the residential-vs.-tertiary-vs.-service roads a bit ambiguous.

This is the same in Korea.  Tagging the roads based on their physical
characteristics (such as roadsign type, and with or without centre lines)
is an excellent way to avoid subjective judgements.  Roads that go
somewhere, but have no painted line, are unclassified.  These roads we are
talking about in Japan (and Korea) are not highway=unclassified, and they
are definitely not tracks.
