instinct is to tag it a primary road while in town (it is called Main
Street in town). Is this correct?

If the highway isn't limited-access outside of town, I'm not sure it should
be trunk to begin with -- but there are other factors to consider in that
decision.  As for whether to downgrade it in town, I could go either way,
but I might be more inclined to do so if the urban undivided section is of
significant length, or if there's a freeway that makes a good bypass of the
section which might be downgraded.
