May I ask why you changed the A46 classification from trunk to primary? According to http://ukroads.wikia.com/wiki/2-digit_primaries, it’s a primary A-road, which should be tagged highway=trunk in the UK while highway=primary means the "standard" A roads.

Comment from LAW3
The section I upgraded to primary, was upgraded to a dual carriageway, and to the best of my knowledge is now classed as a primary road. (As parts of the A46 are)
Aerial photography is still showing single carriageway/work in progress, so those who don't live 200 metres away may still class it as a trunk road.
The wiki you referenced is also a user-contributed service so could also be incorrect.
However if you feel it should be a trunk road, your welcome to change it back. -

Hi LAW3, and welcome to OSM!
The general rule in the UK for trunk roads and primary roads is green signs == trunk; white signs == primary.
In OSM a trunk road fits between motorway and primary, so a change from trunk to primary is a "downgrade", not an upgrade. The A46 (especially post upgrade) is definitely a trunk road (driven it many times).
Incidentally, there's an East Mids OSM meetup soon: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nottingham/Pub_Meetup probably 20th June, probably the Lincolnshire Poacher in Nottingham. With a bit of luck I'll be there - you're welcome too!
Best Regards,

Will just add that around Flintham this section of road was updated just as soon as practicable after it opened, see my blog post from 6 years ago: http://sk53-osm.blogspot.co.uk/2011/05/along-fosse-way-mapping-new-road.html
