Trunk roads

Pensacola	Panama City	US 98, FL 85, FL 123, FL 293 Toll
Panama City	Dothan	US 231
Tallahassee	Dothan	US 27
Tallahassee	Tampa	US 19
Tallahassee	Gainesville	US 19, FL 26
Tallahassee	Ocala	US 19, US 27
Jacksonville	Ocala	US 301, US 17, FL 20

Lesser Road Classifications

highway=primary is used for the next highest roads not otherwise tagged as a higher classification (i.e. motorway or trunk):

• Main connecting roads in cities or suburban areas
• Non-trunk US highways
• Important non-trunk state highways

highway=secondary is used for the roads not otherwise tagged as a higher classification:

• Lesser importance state routes, high importance county roads
• Other connecting roads in cities or suburban areas

highway=tertiary is used for the roads not otherwise tagged as a higher classification:

• Higher importance county roads
• Higher importance roads in cities or suburban areas

highway=residential is used for:

• Minor roads which provide terminal access to residential areas and do not provide through connectivity to the larger road network.

highway=unclassified is used for:

• Minor roads which provide terminal access to non-residential areas, do not meet any of the criteria for highway=service, and do not provide through connectivity to the larger road network.
