  Disclaimer: I'm not familiar with DOT classifications in general.

  At first, the user seemed to be knowledgeable about highway 
classifications for the segments in question.   But I agree - now that 
nearly everything was just changed to primary, it seems to be both less 
useful and inconsistent with most of the rest of the US.   It seems that 
the intent was to match some other map rendering or road classification 
which has fewer classification levels.
