A spokesperson for Suffolk Highways said the road was classed as Category 4a, which residents were told means local road, minor rural road or cul-de-sac.
This classification has riled locals as this is the main route into Thurston from its nearest town of Bury St Edmunds and the village is growing rapidly, with five major developments taking place.

Thurston Parish Clerk Vicky Waples said the situation was not acceptable . This needs intervention at a much earlier date and I think they have to review it at Suffolk County Council, she said.
She said: The way the government scheme is being perceived out there is there s lots of devices for everybody who is struggling, but actually in reality on the ground it feels quite different.
She said there were cases of larger families or parents working at home and home schooling where there just weren t enough devices to go round. It s about us being as proactive as we can as a school community to do the best we can as a school community, she added.
As well as fundraising for new devices, the school is also taking equipment people no longer need.
