Hi. Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Just to make you aware, we have guidelines for the road status in the UK. Basically if the road sign is green then it is a "trunk" road (not a primary).
As such please don't be surprised if someone reverts these edits.

The road signs in the north south direction are in fact white. Only East West direction are green and hence I have left as "Trunk". I have checked against other sources e.g Bing Maps and the classification I have used is also reflected there.

Please do not copy other maps, they are copyright and we do not have permission to use them. Besides bing and google have their own way of classifying roads, the OSM method for the UK is defined in the wiki.
I am 100% sure that the Leicester ring road, and A50 are still trunk as I was there less than 2 weeks ago. -

Hi both,
Thanks for responding. @trigpoint: I don't think this was a case of copying, just bringing in comparisons to prove that it isn't quite so simple cut.
Also in my rush to send a message, I actually wrote it on the wrong changeset. On this changeset Narborough Road is fine. By convention the roundabout adopts the highest classification of the roads passing through it (so "Trunk)".
The changes I wanted to focus my comment on were those changing the road class on the ringroad north of here (i.e. heading clockwise). There the signs are green.
Best regards,
