It has the approach role for signed approach routes, and the connection role for signed connection routes. The roles can be applied to way members or relation members. A link role was not approved for this purpose.

Unsure how prevalent it is, but I've seen them as separate relations
included in super-relations with the link role.<br>

<div>I think there maybe a misunderstanding of the difference
between route relations & ways upon which route relations
are placed.<br>

<div>The link role of a route relation can be placed on *any*
way. It's commonly used as an indicator for 'this is the way
to go to get to the route'<br>
