Hello LockOnGuy;
Thank you for your message and for sharing the OSM Iraq community link with me. I apologize if my recent edits caused any issues or concerns. I will definitely take your feedback into consideration and make sure to engage with the local community before making any further changes.
Regarding the classification of the way in question, I understand your concerns about its designation as a motorway. However, based on the OSM tagging guidelines, a way can be classified as a motorway if it meets certain criteria, such as high speed limits and limited access.
so I think it would be a primary classification to preserve the map consistency 

Regards,
Sara.
