[Talk-us] Update on potential highway classification reform

[MoiraPrime]

It's been mentioned in the past that an expressway tag already exists, but the word "expressway" has no consistent meaning in the United States, making the usage of this tag confusing.

Following the recent talk-us threads, there were extensive debates in Slack, especially in the \#local-us-northeast channel, about how to better apply the highway classification values with international norms, especially the trunk classification, which seems to be the most challenging.
I think this is DOA until there's a specific classification for
expressways or we phase out non-numerical highway=\* values.
