I don't follow - the only US highway visible is primary, and then a vast number of roads are tagged as secondary. None of the secondary roads are so high traffic or important to merit being called primaries. > http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=28.5419&lon=-81.3793&zoom=14&layers=M I'm guessing the primaries that aren't us highways have comparable importance, and there aren't that many of them, so that seems fine. (The area I pointed out is a boring residential town that no one would drive through if they were going more than a few towns.)
