Adding other important routes?

I'd like to add the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit-Windsor to usasf. It's not technically a freeway, although it is controlled-access from I-75/I-96 to its south end at ON 3. James told me he'd go along with whatever the group thought.


Since this tunnel made it to the England list, despite not being a freeway or an A road (at least not a signed route), I'd like to offer it as precedent.

I'm worried about this becoming a slippery slope, and would like to keep USASF to freeways as much as possible.

Bickendan:
If Michigan (and Ontario) had a viable secondary highway set, I'd say the Ambassador Bridge should go there. Otherwise, it should go in the main MI and ON sets. However, the bridge falls in the same grey area as the Bridge of the Gods and Hood River Bridge in OR/WA (and I'd venture the bridge and connecting roads between I-75 and ON 17 would as well).

It's a primary route that only isn't an A road due to being a private road (owned by a publicly owned company - it's a massive legal quirk). Ordinance Survey now even map it as an extension of the A41. And I put it in gbna, not eursf.

There would be precedent for putting a non-freeway in usasf. Look at the Bronx River, Lake Ontario, Saw Mill or Taconic Parkways in New York. Both have a lot of at-grades, but are thrown into usasf. The Ambassador Bridge is a limited-access named road. The only major examples of those in this country that aren't part of a numbered system are a few at-grade NY Parkways.
