I, and from what I see in use where I live quite a few other too, have always used xxx_link tags to join a highway=xxx with a higher one, because we think what was documented on the wiki (xxx_link joins highway=xxx with a lower one) is silly.<br>

Perhaps this is jurisdiction-specific, though. Where I've lived, the offramp of a highway is under the jurisdiction of the highway (offramp of a state highway is policed by state troopers, not county police). So an offramp of a motorway would be, I'd assume, a motorway_link (if not motorway), not a primary_link. In fact, if I hadn't seen that there was a such thing as motorway_link, I'd probably tag them as motorway.</div>
