Don't think I agree with that one. A major road only costs 1/2 to enter, so IMO it shouldn't give a double benefit like that. Or do the rules say otherwise somewhere?

Yes, thanks gents. I've now worked out it's probably meant to be that way. Although 6.1.2 says primary roads ignore terrain, and significantly omits any such about secondaries, the bit about hexes (3.) says of secondary roads "cost 1 to enter along the road". So I guess that overrides any terrain. (Still maybe not quite definitive though, since other of those hex-descriptions are a bit woolly).
