[Talk-us] Trunk VS primary,

[Eric Ladner]

I personally dislike "trunk".  Its definition is vague and leaves a lot to
interpretation (and argument).  It doesn't really add anything to the
information on the map, IMO.  A US Highway is a US Highway regardless of
how much traffic it carries or how many stoplights it has.

Maybe if the definition of "trunk" was solidified to something more
specific, it would have a more valuable use case.
