and we have no functioning definition of what constitutes a major intercity
highway in the US.

which is to day, i don't agree with many of your upgrades, but i've chosen
not to engage in an edit war in the map nor have i chosen to engage in

constitutes
a trunk in the US, and i believe your position is an outlier.
