Except if it leads to a private residence, in which case I would tag it highway=service, service=driveway, surface=dirt, and optionally, access=private (07 Nov '16, 07:30) AlaskaDave 1 And have a look here and special the track pages, https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highways (07 Nov '16, 13:29) Hendrikklaas 1 I have always used highway=track but there are voices that should be used highway=service. But how to distinguish these roads if they look identical, and are presented on the map in a different way? Ok. If the road leads to the fields it is highway=track. If it leads to buildings highway=service. And what if you have these two functions? (07 Nov '16, 13:35) RafalR Well if there are several houses along this road, it would be highway=residential.

The highway category depends on the purpose and usage of the road. So what is this road used for?
