And yes, I might be doing tagging for the router, specifically. Some of the
trunk proposals I got are optimized for users of routers. On the drafts in
the wiki, I'll update them with feedback gathered here.

I'll be updating the drafts following inputs here. Trunk network can be
safe now across the country (except possible downgrades such as with BC 99
between Vancouver and Whistler), but there's this case of trunk to mean
expressway as in Ontario, Quebec and even New Brunswick (around Carleton
County). What is a former important provincial highway needs to be
clarified. Also, there has been a trunk in Labrador, which is kind of a
overclassification in a very remote area which has only a few settlements
with a road connection.
