There is a lot of good detail already mapped that does not need changing. Just using as it was intended.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Right now the definition of motorway_link is a link road between a motorway and another road. There's no mention of a requirement that the road be subject to "motorway rules". And whether or not the link road is connected to a motorway is something that is inherent in the nodes/ways themselves. So there's no detail which wouldn't be given by highway=link.</div>
