+1, especially maxspeed is esential for travel times if there are explicit limits for bigger parts of your journey. Generally it seems that different ideas in different areas of the world, of what a "trunk" road is supposed to be, now fall onto our feet ;-) One option that comes to my mind would be that you change the road classification in Britain to use trunk only on those ways where it is used in other parts of the world, regardless of the actual official british classification. Could this find support in the British community? I guess that as a consequence you would probably have to change some trunk roads to primary roads, while much of the network would still remain like it is now. In Italy and Germany for example we use trunk for certain roads similar to motorways (i.e. usually no traffic lights, dual carriageways, no grade level intersections = slip ramps, but legally not a motorway). Motorway-like access restrictions are then added with an additional tag (motorroad=yes), so they are not compulsory in order to be a trunk road. cheers, Martin
