    Here in the PNW I've heard logging road mostly. If it's public property and maintained it's a forest service road. If it's private property it doesn't matter.

    You don't make a distinction for unpaved roads with scrub vegetation growing between the tire tracks?

    Given that description and no picture, I'd go with farm road. Given the picture, we call it a fire road. I live off of a FR road (Forest Road) which looks enough like that one that I could send you a picture with center vegetation photoshopped in and you'd think it was the same road.

    I've never heard double-track or 2-track, only singletrack.

    You just described my driveway and several of my neighbors driveways. So driveway, I guess.

    We gravel and scrape the main road (easement in common) but all of the private drives look similar to your photo.

    If I saw that road in one of the river valleys around here I would think it's someone's private driveway. Those are usually posted as such. Mines posted no trespassing just to warn the Taliban. Doesn't seem to deter the Jehovah Witness folks though.

    This is a dirt road. I live on it. I would call your pic a logging road.

    here in the northeast, I'd probably call it a logging road, access road, or gravel road

    2 track. As others have shown, a dirt road is clearly a different thing.
