If you don't like the routing decisions an app makes then talk to it's 
author or use a different one - certainly don't try and hack the data to 
make it do what you want. Aside from anything else it might affect other 
apps routing decisions in entirely different ways.

There is a well defined meaning to trunk/primary/secondary for UK roads 
so please use it.
