 That's the simple way to state my opinion. It also seemed to be the 
 thrust of most of the discussion on the talk page of the wiki page 
 referenced previously as closest to consensus (the page itself just 
 references the existence of the two camps and leaves it at that).

 In short, my position is simply that an end user expects a trunk road 
 to be identifiably different than primary or secondary. That's how it's 
 done on other maps, so I don't see why that's such a bad thing here.
