Hey there! I noticed you've been working on changing road classifications in this area- there's been some work done to standardize how we use the classification system in the US to prioritize network connectivity rather than physical quality of the roads. Generally, the guidelines are to keep major routes like trunk roads classed as trunk throughout their entire length, even if they go from a divided highway down to two lanes.
These guidelines have been written out on the wiki under https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/United_States/2021_Highway_Classification_Guidance! I recommend taking a look, as the community consensus in Alabama is to follow them rather than what the wiki may say about trunk vs primary based on physical construction.
Downgrading existing trunk routes breaks the connectivity of the region (and also looks fractured when zoomed out since trunk roads render at a higher zoom level than primaries). Just keep this in mind as your changes may be reverted to restore the network!
Other than that, welcome to OSM and I hope you enjoy improving Alabama's map!
