A paragraph or two describing the problem (and the correct way to tag)
could help any newbies searching the archives.

I've seen this sort of thing when someone (apparently) promotes or
demotes a highway.  I'll find little pieces of highway=primary were the
longer ways are tagged highway=secondary.  It looks very much like the
demotion was done with the editor zoomed out instead of the tedious
process of following the way "up close".

Just my 0.02 monetary units.
