actually not, the motorroad tag was introduced by the Germans (AFAIK) to express a typical access situation on many trunks but also some primaries (motorway like access), so that trunk (motorway like physical construction) and access could be tagged orthogonally. There are also some trunks that permit slower traffic in Germany.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I would also consider a "super two" or similar undivided design to be a trunk. <br></div></div></div>
