Fire roads and driveways
There are a lot of roads added along my routes (I'm very new, so a very restricted editable area) that are roads through someone's farm (because there's a cemetery in the back) or that are a long gravel driveway from a named road to their house.
What are these called? Are they dirt roads/4x4 or are they private roads? Or are they service roads? (What is a service road? Is it like a frontage road along a divided highway?)
On one hand, it doesn't make much routing difference, as they don't connect two points, so Waze is unlikely to route anyone along them. On the other hand, I'd like to be correct in nomenclature.
Here's an example: https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lo ... s=81524938
It was misnamed, given the name of the next road north. I am checking to see if the cemetery can be accessed, which would, I suppose, make it a dirt road, but it goes right through someone's farm, so it's really a driveway/private road.
Is there a dictionary of all the road terms? I've wandered through the wiki, but keep ending up in the definitions for Australia.
