3. Documentación localizada: se cita el tipo de documentos localizados, que pueden hacer referencia a camino vecinal, camino público, camino en el cual la administración ha intervenido, etc.
I think secondary road is too vague, (country) lane maybe not right here, track does not include the idea of vecinal... Any other ideas?

municipal road / bridle path
Two options, though I think with the given context, municipal road works best.
Hope this helps!

: I think this is the safest bet here. It could refer to what are called "unadopted roads" in the UK, but you'd need more specific evidence.

private or unadopted road (see explanation)
I suggest you translate as follows:
"private/unadopted road, public road..."
because "public road" implies that the road is maintained by the Local Highway Authority, and you need to distinguish between that and "camino vecinal".
In the U.K., some roads are built by Highways Authorities and others by developers as part of a housing estate etc. project. The developer must build the access roads according to the Authority's specification in order that the Authority "adopts" them, that is, takes responsibility for their maintenance henceforth.
Many "private or unadopted roads" are in the countryside and lead to farms etc. Many of them go back many years and still follow the route of the original farm tracks.
I used to live on a farm on an unadopted road.

thank you for the additional information that these are footpaths. The equivalent terms in the U.K. would be:
"camino vecinal": private way or path
"camino público": public right of way (also called public footpath). This term is used by U.K. local authorities, who have a legal responsibility to maintain a register of these rights of way, maintain them -- including waymarking them with signposts -- and keep them open at all times to the public. As a reference please see the photo on the right of this page, captioned: "A public right-of-way path that provides access to a field". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_right_of_way
A public right of way ran across the farm where I used to live.

Wendy: what I was trying to say is that it's clear I need to differentiate between ""camino vecinal" and "camino publico". Tracks can presumably be both (?)
I would be very wary of road because that suggests it is "metalled", which it may not be. A track, however, doesn't suggest that it will be metalled, but neither is it an impossibility.
And why doesn't track suggest "vecinal"? Don't follow your reasoning there, although I'm probably not seeing the obvious!
