Sorry to start another thread on this but I just had an exchange with
another mapper here in Kansas that could use some more opinions.
I recently reclassified US 24 west of Manhattan, KS from trunk down to
primary. NE2 had bumped it up to trunk a long time ago and I never
felt that this was right

I'm pretty sure US 24 also has a lot more random driveways and farm
access roads than US 81 although 81

In the UK we use the designation= tag to record official classifications
which might not be reflected in the highway type - I'd commend it.

However, I can see where some roads with a high HFCS classification may warrant
a class downgrade. US 24 in Central Kansas obviously connects mainly smaller
towns, wher
