Agreed. To me trunk means: paved divided very few at grade intersections or driveways (one every few miles is ok) basically "sort of like a motorway, but not quite". primary already means "this is a very main road". There are plenty of primary roads with 65 MPH speed limits out there. If they aren't divided or have more-than-occasional at-grade intersections or driveways, that's the right classification. I don't think a road that isn't physically trunk should get tagged as such just because it is the most important road (or the only road). _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
