Hi again. There's no way Avalon is reasonably highway=primary in OSM. I drove down it a couple months ago, it's one through lane in each direction with extensive crossings and bike lanes. It's a much less major thoroughfare than nearby primaries like Central, and even maybe other nearby secondaries. If the Caltrans database is telling you to upgrade roads like this to primary, then the database is not a good fit for bulk import into OSM.

I noticed that despite my comments on https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/145714639 inviting you to discuss these massive changes in how roads are tagged in the LA area, you have not responded and instead have proceeded to continue editing based on functional classifications. I was hoping to have a cordial discussion, but at this point I feel I need to escalate this to the DWG and ask them to revert these undiscussed mass edits until a consensus can be reached. Other users on OSMUS Slack agreed with me on this action.

Hope to continue discussing road classification principles in Los Angeles.

Best,
Will
