I'm kind of seeing that as abuse of classification and classification creep
as well.  I'd probably have gone with trunk for the entire length of KS 7
from KS 32 to KS 10 rather than spin the wheel and creep it upwards.  I'm
not really seeing a significant difference in characteristic in the WA 500
example or the KS 7 example from the 70 MPH sections of OK 33 or US 75
between Tulsa and Bartlesville, OK.  All four are surface freeways with
regular intersections.  This one doesn't "go to 11", folks; if you think
you need a mix of motorway and trunk, it's probably just a trunk.
