One of the validator jobs is to reviews the taggings of highways .  Experience earns that traces of highways are regularly wrong tagged.

How to decide when a trace is a path or an unclassified highway (main choices in rural areas)
First, look what they connect.  Houses, settlements, villages. Then measure the width of that trace.

In iDeditor 

Shortcut : Ctrl+⇧ Shift+M – toggle  opens measurement panel
Draw a line between the shoulders of a trace (zoom in very far) and read the distance.
If a trace is max 2 meters wide, tag it as a path.
Wider and connect hamlets, houses and villages should be tagged as unclassified.
Tag residential in urban areas (villages, towns)

In JOSM, use the measure tab or, draw a circle (round building, shortcut Alt-Z when the building plugin is installed)) between the shoulders of a trace and read the distance on the lower toolbar. (don't map that bulding)

Quote: Tracks are roads of agricultural purpose. They usually connect fields to farms. The surface sometimes makes them inaccessible for regular cars, or at least limits the speeds to a very slow pace. Tracks should always be avoided for through-going traffic or within urban areas.

Thanks for your contribution to this project.
This changeset is reviewed by a Global Validator to check that the tasks have been mapped in accordance with the quality standards of HOTOSM. 
We cannot expect from a new mapper that he/she delivers high-quality mappings from the start, so we offer some guidance.
Please pay attention to the next summarized issues. (see attached document with examples for more info)

Buildings need to be tagged as building=yes.


About mapping highways. 
Don't map roads which don't exist. (no trace on the ground)
Correct highways to the correct place when they are offset.

Michoo (2024-04-07 11:31:34+00:00): W większości przypadków, każdy krzyżujący się punkt drogi z chodnikiem został oznaczony jako przejście dla pieszych. Chodniki zostały wyrysowane w miejscach, gdzie ich w rzeczywistości nie ma.
Chodnik przy drodze nie musi być wyrysowany jako linia. Droga może zawierać odpowiednie tagi.

Rysując chodnik wzdłuż drogi warto zadbać o odpowiednie tagowanie, które wykorzystuje oprogramowanie do wyznaczania tras (routing). Do chodnika, który biegnie wzdłuż drogi, oprócz tagu highway=footway warto dodać tag footway=sidewalk. Do drogi przy której wyrysowano chodnik, należy dodać tag sidewalk=separate, informujący o oddzielnym chodniku.
