I'm very wary of gravel roads being designated as primary roads! I think you are possibly reading too much into the definition from Vegagerðin.
Also do note that roads come from two source, Vegagerðin and then the municipalities. In urban areas for example we use tertiary for Safnbrautir (linking residential roads) and then secondary for tengibrautir (linking safnbrautir to stoðbrautir). 30. mars 2019 kl. 15:43, skrifaði "Svavar Kjarrval" <sva...@kjarrval.is>: > Hi Andrew and the rest of the mailing list. > > I'm in favour of the stated goals of that review.
