This is the main point here I think: administrative classification is about ownership and maintenance of the road. Of course there also is a link between administrative classification and importance of connection, but planning norms and regulations usually deal with the "importance of connection". In general this classification corresponds also to administration classification, but not in all cases. In the end for our scope the importance of the connection is way more interesting than who pays the maintenance.
