[Tagging] [Talk-us] Trunk VS primary,

[Graeme Fitzpatrick]

Can't disagree with the idea behind it, Paul.

As we've mentioned any number of times, there are areas here in Australia
(as there would be in the US, Canada & any number of other places), that
[/the/] (one & only) road servicing an area is dirt, if you're lucky, 2
lanes wide, but is used constantly by heavy traffic (semi-trailers with 3
o4 4 trailers on the back).

How do we tie that into the nice neat Motorway > Primary > Secondary etc
arrangement?

Thanks

Graeme
