How come this road is a trunk? Seems like a full freeway to me.

Comment from Canyonsrcool
I classify it as trunk because of how important it is relative to the network in Utah and what its main function is. It is only 2 lanes in each direction, has a 55 mph speed limit because it runs through wetlands (that was one of the compromises between the state and the environmental groups who were suing to make the parkway not happen), carries less traffic than I-15, and is not an interstate. So with classifications being a measure of importance and function and motorway having specific defined characteristics (high speed being one of them) I feel comfortable with Legacy Parkway being a trunk classification.

A road can be classed as motorway regardless of importance. And just because the speed limit is only 55 doesn't mean it shouldn't be tagged as a motorway. Many freeways have a 55 mph speed limit. NYC and Chicago even have interstates with a 45 mph speed limit.
