although this is a peripheral discussion here, I like to point out that "legal 
designation" has more dimensions to it than the average driver would maybe 
assume: the German signposted classification of Bundesstraße, Landstraße, 
Kreisstraße is about the operator, it is not the actual classification that 
authorities use to plan and manage the road network. They use planning 
guidelines with different classes, which are not directly visible to the user 
of a road. A good starting point for the German situation is maybe here: 
https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richtlinien_für_integrierte_Netzgestaltung
(I believe the actual guideline is not available for free), and I guess other 
countries will likely have similar standards that go beyond the system that is 
visible from signs on the road.

cheers,
Martin
