<div class="moz-cite-prefix">According to the wiki and talk-gb
posts, the distinction between trunk and primary is to do with
green v white signed routes.

<br>
My memory of that part of Edinburgh is a bit fuzzy so forgive me
for looking at google street view. If you go west on the A902 from
the Crewe Toll roundabout there are a few green signs, but also
some white signs - especially going eastbound. But it's clear that
the A902 and A199 aren't what you would class as the second most
important roads on the network - they look like primary roads to
me. <br>
<br>
If you compare the Transport Scotland trunk road map to the OSM
map, it is identical except for the roads in question going
through Edinburgh. I'm not sure if that is the case in the rest of
the UK - should we just be copying the trunk road maps or going by
the wiki (if there is even a difference?)<br>
