Hi, it looks to me that this discussion is going in circles, not forward at the moment. IMHO it does not make a lot of sense to argue what might be the true meaning of "trunk". Instead, we should concentrate on what it should mean, document this meaning if we can agree on one and don't worry to much about what other maps or different parts of the world think a "trunk" is. Yeah, the whole reason why this discussion hasn't resulted in a consensus for 7+ years is because people have dug in their heels so much and said "trunk roads can only be divided highways, no its, ands, or buts." I support what is written on the wiki that says that it is the second most important road after motorway. I haven't seen a single compelling reason to believe that trunk should only apply to divided highways. You can still tell whether a trunk is divided at low zooms based on how thick the line is. The definition of "trunk" that I have used so far: A highway that is of the same network importance as a primary, but specifically constructed for fast traffic.

There are quite a few two lane roads that are built for speed, but may still have some at grade intersections. -Evin (compdude)
