Well, you don't want to ride on an expressway (for safety reasons, and also 
because doing so is illegal in many cases).  However, in addition to the speed 
of the motorized traffic, you also have factors such as the presence or absence 
of a dedicated bicycle lane and/or wide shoulders, whether the shoulder is 
paved, gravel, or just bare earth, the amount of broken glass and other 
hazardous debris, etc.  I don't think that simply categorizing the road as 
primary/secondary/tertiary is enough.
