Given the nature of that road, the "access=destination" is likely a mistake. Given the overall network of secondary, tertiary, etcetera in the area and a couple of visible ref tags, I'd estimate the "highway=secondary" is entirely because of the original TIGER import: since a short section of the road is also an Oregon state highway, the whole thing got an Oregon state route designation in one of its name_x tags, and therefore the whole thing was imported as "highway=secondary" and left that way. The whole length of that road should probably be demoted to "highway=tertiary" except the part that is actually part of OR 213. (I don't have local knowledge, but given the close proximity of that road's entire length to a parallel motorway, I wouldn't think that road serves as much more than a local collector.) -- David "Smith" a.k.a.
