All non-motorways are roads for cars.

Just add the width and surface and let's depreciate all the other values. 
primary/secondary/tertiary/unclassified/residential/service/track and have only 
highway=road. 

All that they are used for are implied  and can be magically determined in 
those generic tags. No keys or sublets needed.  We can color all the roads 
white and let everyone figure it out for themselves weather it is appropriate 
for their vehicle, their route, and if they need to bring a chainsaw to cut 
fallen logs across their path. None of that needs to be represented in a main 
tag nor sub-tag. 

However the subtle difference between a footway and a sidewalk? Totally 
reasonable to have a subkey to define it.
