Thanks Paul!
This is much closer to how I view trunk vs. primary highways. But how can
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/ have one clear thread to users that this is
case. So far I found two, if not three, conflicting definitions for
highways in BC depending how you read through the wiki.

A trunk road is not necessarily divided. The limited access part means that
it's not residential. It has to go from a town or city to another town or
city. It predates or has lesser capacity than a motorway.
It's one of these maddening "know one when I see one" definitions that

Great points, Daniel. And thank you very much for providing the summary of
viewpoints. I found the online archive hard to follow.
When it comes to calling a route a trunk route I lean towards the
functionality of the route as opposed to the design qualities. Excepting
motorways, IMO trunk routes
Completely agree, Stewart.
Similarly I live just off a road I would consider to be a tertiary level
road. It runs for only 4 km and links up residential side streets, a high
school, an elementary school and a small scale commercial zone. It is only
two lanes wide but for over 50% of its length
But there's one point on showing a route as a trunk route that I think is
important to considered. And this would be on a global level, not just for
Canada.
I use OSM on a Garmin Nuvi navigational system. If you are not familiar all
of the OSM maps can be downloaded for free for use on GPS
