(I'm writing from the perspective of having driven Route 6 from the sagamore bridge to north eastham every summer for many years, and to Provincetown a few years ago.)
If we're talking about where Route 6 goes from 2 lanes each direction with a real median down to one lane in each direction with a yellow line with plastic thingies stuck up, ending at the orleans rotary, it was still like that in late August of 2014, unchanged for many years. Construction of that would be such big news that Lars and I would have heard about it. I don't know when this picture was taken: http://www.bostonroads.com/roads/mid-cape/img10.gif but it looked like that last summer. In particular, that's a bridge for the cape code rail trail, and is probably http://osm.org/go/Ze0Y15wyd-- It definitely should be trunk. It's nowhere near motorway (no real median, 1 lane each way). It's way better than a regular US highway, in that it is limited access, with higher speeds. I see it's been retagged recently, and I concur. However, north of the rotary for quite a while, it should just be primary. There are intersections and lights all over the place, nothing better than an ordinary US highwway that happens to have two lanes each way. It's posted "40 and we really mean it", for what that's worth, which is kind of like being posted 30 :-) I can see calling it trunk north of Wellfleet until Ptown starts, but it's iffy.
