Syed, what is your rationale for making changes scattered across the U.S., changing motorway segments to trunk? Without your rationale explained, this pattern concerns me. I'm fairly local to this particular change, and I don't understand why you're making it.

HI,
Motorways do not have traffic signals or multiple intersections of residential roads. As far as I know.I was trying to change the ones which has intersections as the sharp turns would not be possible at the speed of the motorway.
I am new to mapping help me out if any issues with my edits.

OK, I see where you're coming from. I think this choice of edit could reasonably be considered controversial, at least until there's discussion about it. To me, having the motorway change to trunk at the intersection could also be appropriate, and that's how it was before your edit. It also seems simpler; I'm not sure what the advantage is of making things slightly more complex as your edit made it.
I have two suggestions. One is that as you start out and gain experience in OSM, do edits that are less likely to be controversial (subject to judgment and interpretation, I know!). The other is to develop a sense of when there might be reasonable disagreement about how to map, and ask questions within the community, e.g. on the talk-us mailing list. See https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mailing_lists.
By the way, were you by any chance guided to find these by using MapRoulette? I see there's a motorway/trunk challenge on there.
Regardless, thanks for diving in and making a good effort to improve OSM!
