Bonjour Daniel,
> I understand that initially the roads in Québec were tagged using this classification...

Funny the page says: "Trunk: ??? (should use National Highway Service roads);"
> The concept of "trunk" is not really used in Québec, at least by French people. So, local mapper won't use it.
Absolutely. I just found out what NHS means actually.
> The difference between trunk/motorway is based on carriageways (single/dual).
So the wiki should say: motorway if dual, trunk if NHS and single
carriageway? In that case, the 50 between Gatineau and Lachute would
in part be classified as motorway, parts as trunk? [1]
