I've thought of them as something like "really major but not Interstate-grade roads". Primary roads are main roads, obviously, but trunks have better throughput. I mentioned MD 90 earlier; in the same region is the easternmost part of US 50 which is a divided highway with at-grade intersections and periodic (but not frequent) traffic lights. It's designed to get a lot of people to and from Ocean City, MD in an efficient way. I think it definitely fits as a trunk. I think most of the things I would consider trunk are divided, but I have seen undivided roads that others have tagged trunk and thought, "Yeah, that makes sense there." -- ...computer contrarian of the first order... / http://aperiodic.net/phil/ PGP: 026A27F2 print: D200 5BDB FC4B B24A 9248 9F7A 4322 2D22 026A 27F2 --- -- #define FALSE 0 /* This is the naked Truth */ #define TRUE 1 /* and this is the Light */ -- mailto.c ---- --- -- _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
