Does your language
there are generally no driveways with direct access.
>
refer to single-family driveways or businesses?
I took a look with GoogleEarth. [It's ok, I'm not mapping that road.] The
divided section with 2-lanes plus turn-lanes cut into the median is
certainly not a motorway but is pretty good. There are so many turn lanes
it's in no way limited.
Usage here in Massachusetts, Trunk was used for divided, limited access
that didn't quite make Motorway for reasons i can't elucidate; divided with
driveways is is tagged Primary.
So I would say 301 is a Primary, at least in towns and areas where turn
lanes are frequent.
It might be Trunk in the boonies where left turn lanes are far between?
We could use a biit more guidance in the wiki ..
