It makes sense to me to go more by physical attributes than the official primary/secondary/tertiary rating. Among other reasons, medium-term conditions such as construction projects may mean that the quickest route from point A to point B involves the use of a lower-rated roadway to bypass a

What I try to say is that you should not map a important road for large distances as secondary + works_as_primary just because it is a smaller, has a different surface, a different ref or whatever. Then (large distance, important road) it is a primary road IMHO, regardless of any other tags. If

A better router might weight physical attributes such as lanes, surface and effective speed more prominently than heuristics based on logical stuff like administrative classifications and legal maximum speeds. Artificially manipulating the tagging to influence the results of routing algorithms
