[Talk-us] georgia road classifications

[Apollinaris Schoell]

I think it's fine except this oneUrban Freeways and Expressways -
highway:trunk

If it's a signed freeway tag it as motorway not as trunk
freeways usually have a signed designation, access restrictions for
pedestrians. bikes(with some exceptions in CA,OR ...) this deserves the
motorway tag.
