Sorry, Joseph, I was talking about suburban arterials, which I prefer as secondary. I use tertiary to distinguish the preferred route into and out of the subdivision. Often these are wider or have turn lanes and or traffic signals to aid access to the intersecting secondary road. I sometimes use tertiary as arterial roads in rural areas as you suggest.
