[Talk-us] US Trunk road tagging

[MoiraPrime]

Yeah like at least make it consistently *something*. Labeling anything divided with 2 lanes in each direction no matter how short as "trunk" is on the same level as labeling any dirt road (no matter what its purpose is) as "track".

It would probably look a bit better if you changed the secondary segments to primary. After all, if it's a "major state highway" as you say it is, it should definitely be tagged as primary. A minor, less important state highway can be secondary but this seems like it ought to be at least primary given that there's some sections that are expressway.
