I recently changed the ring of Tienen (N3) to a secondary road because the Sint-Truidensesteenweg (also N3) between the ring and the roundabout with the R27 already was a secondary road. The consequence of this changement is that there is no primary road connected anymore with the N29 Diestsesteenweg which is classified as a primary road (the only one left on the ring). For me it also doesn't make sense to keep the N29 primary if the N223 is secondary. They both connect the relative small cities Aarschot, Diest and the motorway E314 to another relative small city Tienen and the motorway E40. Nowdays the ring of Tienen is quite simular with the one of Leuven (southern part). Only the speed limit in Tienen is set on 70 km/h in stead of 50 km/h in Leuven. There are also plans to reduce the small ring of Tienen (N3) from a road with 2 lanes on each side to 1 lane on each side (already degrated to a secondary road type 3 in the structure plan of Vlaams-Brabant). An extension of the R27 to the N29 and the N223 won't be realised soon so there is no alternative for the N3 and no reason to degradate it. So even if the primary road changes to a secondary one, the gps will still folow the same route. I can understand the current classification but i prefere to use the classification of the government. Should i undo my changement and make the ring primary again? In that case it makes sense for me to upgrade the N223 to a primary road allthough it isn't in rule with the wiki. In the other case i suggest to downgrade the N29 to a secondary road. Kevin
