<div>For me it is definitely not highway=primary, though if it is officially classified<br>

<div dir="auto">as primary road in official designation data for UK that makes it a bit tricky.<br>

<div>I thought this was interesting: I noticed that a couple of mappers have different opinions about whether a road in OSM should be marked as "primary" or "tertiary". The road is still apparently designated the A3000, though Hounslow Council/TfL have also
designated it a section of the route of Cycleway C9, and the last 300 metres are now a cul-de-sac (at least for cars travelling westbound, there's a modal filter at the end so pedestrians, cyclists et al can continue onward and there's also the one-way Clarence
Road which allows cars to join Wellesley Road eastbound)<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So is it still a primary road because of the designation? Can a primary road be a cul-de-sac? Aren't they usually roads designed to be a core route of the road network?<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd argue that if anything, from a motor vehicle perspective, it's become "residential" rather than "tertiary"...<br>
