This question is really aimed at UK roads but the same may apply to
other countries.
I'm not clear with the distinction of a Trunk road in the UK. The wiki
suggests a trunk road is "high performance roads that don't meet the
requirement for highway
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway>=motorway
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dmotorway>" which to
me would suggest an A road that is a dual carriageway. Further on in
the wiki it says that any A road in the UK signed with "Green" signs
is a "Trunk" road.
I know of many "Green" "A" roads that aren't much more than country
lanes, they are definitely not "high performance" and I don't feel
they should be "Trunk" roads, I feel they should be "Primary" roads.
Perhaps you might like to see this question from the help system:
