That page looks like a mess to me, but I'm not interested in fixing it
so I shouldn't complain.

If it is limited access, dual carriageway, with grade separated
interchanges and no direct access to properties (driveways), then it's
a motorway.  If there are some grade separated interchanges and some
level crossings, then consider trunk.  If there are driveways and
direct access service roads, then primary is the highest
classification possible.
