Strong oppose to motorway_indication. First of all, it's confusing. Secondly, it encourages people to tag roads which are not motorways as highway=motorway and motorway=no. Thirdly, there is no definition given for what a motorway is.<br>

You might be thinking, "we already have a simple way to indicate<br>
motorways!" This proposal is about separating form from function,<br>
opening the possibility for things like "trunk motorways" and<br>
"secondary motorways". (And it doesn't kill highway=motorway<br>
altogether.) You might be thinking, "what's an expressway?" The<br>
short answer is, it's just like a freeway/motorway but with at-grade<br>
intersections. There's more detail in the proposals and referenced<br>
wiki pages.<br>
