I'm a little late to the party here, but I am involved in this question.
I have marked US 169 between Iola and Chanute as Motorway because, although it
is a super-two, it is fully controlled access along this segment. I believe
this is consistent with the way most commercial map-makers would mark this
segment. For example, Rand McNally marks this segment using their freeway
symbol with a "TWO LANES" notation (they also mark US 400 near Neodesha this
way, however, it is NOT controlled access, and is properly marked as Trunk in
OSM)
I would also point out that I-93 in Franconia Notch is also two lanes, with a
median barrier separating the lanes. If all super-two facilities are to be
labeled as "Trunk," then this segment
would have to be labeled as "Trunk" to be consistent. It would, however,
confuse the hell out of the general public
In reviewing the thread, I noticed someone mentioned Maryland State Highway 90.
I do not know the specific characteristics of this highway, but if it is a
fully controlled-access facility, I would mark it as "motorway." Rand McNally
does mark it with the freeway symbol.
