Which is a brief summary of part of the point I made.  However, the other
part was that even if
all of those internal planning rules are available, the decisions made may
not be entirely
predictable (especially if we don't have access to traffic statistics) and
the only objectively
verifiable data we have is the signage.  If your country's government
indicates with signs
that a road as a primary route then that is what it is.  If your country
doesn't have official road
classifications then you'll have to use your judgement.
