Nope - UK highway tagging, which was of course the original, has always largely 
been aligned to administrative classifications.

highway=motorway -> UK motorway (Mx or Ax(M))
highway=trunk -> UK primary A-road (Ax with green signs)
highway=primary -> UK non-primary A-road - yes, really (Ax with black/white 
signs)
highway=secondary -> UK B-road (Bx)

We do have a super special, very rarely used exemption known as the Oxford High 
Street Exemption, though.

cheers
Richard
