Hi Kenny,
I think I vaguely know that road, the section you describe, and indeed it looks more like a very local road instead of a main road. As most connecting, and more important roads, are secondary, it might be wise to 'scale it down' to tertiary. I have been doing some mapping in the Chimay - Bouillon - Dinant area a bit few weeks ago, and I noticed also there that some quite small roads have a N-number, even roads where 2 trucks can't pass without stopping and pulling over. Guess that when all roads will be mapped it will make sense... A similar 'downscaling' has been done in Antwerpen, where for instance the N1 becomes 'secondary' within the ringway. Guess this can be done in most places that have a ringway to keep transit traffic out of towncenter.
