Well - there is not really a frame of reference here - going strictly by 
the wiki it would be highway=trunk - there are certainly no more than a 
handful of such long distance roads on the whole continent so this 
certainly qualifies as 'one of the most important'.  On the other hand 
it is not used frequently so highway=secondary might not be such a bad 
choice.  The question is of course if this qualifies as road at all 
since for the most part it is not really a built, permanent structure, 
on the plateau essentially these are just the tracks of the transports 
that went this route.

The other end of the road is tagged highway=road by the way:
