[Talk-GB] Trunk roads
Am I right that the Highways Agency is the definitive source of whether a road is a trunk road? ie, if it is on this map[1] then it is a trunk road and should be green, if it is not on this list then it should not be green? I notice that the A12 north of Ipswich is current shown as a trunk road, but is not on their map as one so should possibly be 'primary' (incidentally it is also a much lower grade road than south of Ipswich) . Google (ie TeleAtlas) shows it as green, as they do various other roads (A140,A143) that are not trunk roads according to the HA.

Absolutely not. Well not in OSM terms anyway. To the Highways Agency a Trunk Road is a road they maintain. These days that is basically as few as they can get away with and at the slightest whiff of an opportunity they will detrunk it and hand it back to the local council to deal with. To OSM a highway=trunk is any road which is part of the Primary Route Network. That is so say all green signed A roads. That will generally include all current (and former) centrally maintained Trunk Roads as well as some roads which were probably never centrally maintained. We did get a complete list of the Primary Route Network from DfT a few years back.

The OSM way to indicate that something is part of the Highways Agency's Trunk Road Network (or Strategic Road Network, or whatever they're calling it this week) is probably operator=highways_agency. Thanks for that - I think the other less polite response to my query could have been to say RFM! I agree with Richard re the operator tag could be worth adding at some point.
