But some dual carriageway *has* been upgraded to motorway recently - August 28th - 294km worth - (including some sections under construction) See http://www.transport.ie/upload/general/10193-PRESS_RELEASE1_-0.DOC Having said that, I reviewed some changes done in Derbyshire in the UK and they looked horribly wrong. Didn't seem to move any nodes, but road numbers were changed, road classifications changed without any clear indication as to why. Some highway=primary reclassified as highway=secondary with fabricated B-road numbers. Some fairly minor roads upgraded to highway=secondary or highway=primary, again with fabricated route numbers. I'll be happy to revert these particular edits. Most of the edits are not in areas I know well enough. Most seem to be in Iceland.
