But highway=* should consider solely character. Some interpret this as "all unpaved is highway=track". This is wrong. Similarly reasoning going like 1) in my country roads forming national road grid (highway=trunk) are all dual carriageway 2) therefore all trunks must be paved dual carriageway is similarly broken. functional and physical and administrative classification often match and it is tempting to pretend that there is an exact match. But sooner or later you run into weird cases like road ranked high in official classification but of low quality. Poland has for example case of road that used to lead to a bridge (destroyed in WW II, not rebuild). It is still officially highly ranked, but as it leads solely to riverside fields it is highway=track. It does not matter at all that it is "droga krajowa" or "droga wojewódzka". Extremely high-quality logging rod through forest is still highway=track. Extremely low quality driveway is still highway=service + service=driveway
