Graeme. Re the OSM classifications it looks like they are mostly consistent at the trunk/primary level with the current Queensland road classifications <https://www.publications.qld.gov.au/dataset/the-state-road-network-of-queensland>, where the A3 throughout is designated as a "State Strategic Route" and other main roads are mostly designated as "Regional Road Network". If you went by traffic volumes rather than official classifications, Nanango-Kingaroy-Murgon-Gooomeri would be right up there as that route mostly has two to three times the traffic of Nanango-Goomeri direct. There are plenty of inconsistencies, for example Wide Bay Highway is shown as a primary road but it is a State Strategic Route.
