That's a very good definition ... I agree it is <b>not</b> a motorway. That "highway" was made so that it serves as a bypass road for the towns of Orion, Pilar, Abucay, Balanga, etc to go straight to Mariveles. I passed this road several times before when I was mapping POIs at Mariveles and I really wondered why it was ever classified as a motorway.<br>

<tt>Yes, I feel the same. One of the definitions of a motorway is that
it "does not cross at level with any road, railway or tramway track, or
footpath" (according to wikipedia) so if this road does, then it's
definitely not a motorway.<br>

While it's not a requirement that the road is a tollway as opposed to a
freeway to be a motorway, the fact that it's not limited access and has
at-grade intersection suggests that it is not really a motorway.<br>

The discussion tab in the above page disputes its class as a motorway.<br>
However, according to a friend who went there last month, it is<br>
indeed a dual-carriageway but no tollbooths. I added another<br>
carriageway but didn't changed the motorway tag. Probably needs an<br>
actual visit<br>
