I forgot to mention, there was another interesting forum thread regarding the classification of trunks in the entire country. While most mappers agreed we need to raise at least some primaries to the trunk level, there hasn't been consensus on the exact criteria that should be used. [1][2]
Also, there is an undocumented (but openly discussed [3]) agreement that the definition of motorway should be slightly relaxed, since many highways fulfill the international criteria without fully implementing access control.
