Comment from Mike Baggaley
Hi, in this change a number of ways have been changed from primary to secondary but have ref A6539. If they are no longer part of the A6539, please remove the ref, otherwise the classification was correct. A roads are either primary or trunk. Can you please review this change?
Thanks,

As a highway engineer I just want to clarify this. In non-OSM terms, all trunk roads are primary routes, but not all primary routes are trunk roads. Similarly not all A-roads are trunk roads: some are county A-roads, into which category the A6539 and A639 fall. You can tell the status on the ground because primary routes have white text on green signs/panels, while non-primary routes have black text on white signs/panels.

We are aware of the rules followed by highway engineers however OSM is an international project and in the UK we map roads according to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Roads_in_the_United_Kingdom
Hence all A roads with green signs are trunk, other A roads primary and (most) B roads are secondary.
This scheme has worked very well for the 13 or so year OSM has been going.
Please review your changes as they have broken OSM data.
Cheers Phil
