Here in the West dirt road types should be limited to those roads you wouldn't normally drive a car on. Meaning usually 4x4 quality roads or trails. Forest service roads that are dirt do usually get the dirt classification, but there are entire towns without a drop of asphalt on any of their streets. In the SW pavement is not always needed to maintain decent quality driving surfaces.
If the road gets any significant traffic it should be a street. As Jemay said we really really really need an unpaved option, but until we get it save dirt for roads people don't drive on very often.

Well, I don't think, Jemay is wrong.
First, we are still debating on the issue... Second, if there is a town with no other road but dirt road then waze will probably route using them anyway... as Waze did in NJ at Lincoln Tunnel awhile back. It routed against (wrong way) traffic in a tunnel where there is no other option.
I also agree with Jemay that there should be a way to differentiate those 4x4/trail/off-road/dirt roads from unpaved graveled roads.
I also wonder how many people actually look into settings and change the option to allow dirt road or not, as well as toll roads.
