"autoweg" is in principle tagged as motorroad=yes. The highway=trunk is for 
all express roads where pedestrians/cyclists/mopeds aren't allowed, on the 
condition that it's not just for a single bridge or tunnel.

So, should the N60e be mapped as trunk? I'm not sure, I don't know that road, 
it seems a bit small for it to be tagged as a trunk road. But if you think it 
makes sense, map it as trunk, but the motorroad=yes should nevertheless be 
enough for routers.
