Same here in the UK. In urban areas I mark through-roads that are wider than 
residential roads as tertiary. In rural areas I mark roads that have two 
lanes, or that are wide enough for easy passing, to differentiate them from 
the tiny country lanes you wouldn't want to go down unless your destination 
was on them.

Kind regards,
