Should Central Expressway be marked as primary rather than trunk
at this point? The existence of a traffic signal indicates that it
does not always have right of way. Other sections of Central
Expressway are grade separated with limited access and
highway=trunk makes sense to me but not here.<br>

i think it's ok for trunks in the US to have traffic lights. they
probably shouldn't have<br>
a bunch of connecting side roads. an example in NY is Washington
Avenue extension<br>
in Albany, which is a 55mph road with a limited number of traffic
lights and a<br>
frontage road system providing access to the host of office
buildings:<br>

grade separated/limited access is usually a sign of a motorway.<br>

Highway 120/108 at this point is a two lane road. Side roads have
stop signs. Other areas similar to this have the highway tagged as
primary or secondary, not trunk. Even highway 120 and highway 108
further west of this are tagged primary rather than trunk.<br>
<br>

this is probably primary/secondary<br>

In this area highway 108 is a "super two", one lane each way,
undivided, but with grade separation and limited access. How do
people typically classify a super two?<br>
<br>

super twos generally are trunks.<br>
