[Routing] [motorway_link] description of direction

[Steffen Wickham]

Oh, I'm sorry. How could i forget to describe my idea.. *damnit*

Okay....   In this case "direction" means the explicit destination of a 
motorway described with famous exits or the next great motorway junction 
or city.

For example (in Germany): I'm starting at north Braunschweig and 
entering a highway leading south. At the beginning of the motorway_link 
leading to the motorway there is a sign with "Kassel, Salzgitter, Bad 
Harzburg". Kassel is the next huge/famous junction, Salzgitter and Bad 
Harzburg are the next city in south of Braunschweig.

So I think, that these informations are important for routing software 
and it's user, because it is easier to find the right motorway link. At 
the beginning I thought it would be nice to use the name tag, but I 
think it's better to use a new tag (maybe something like 
"motorway_direction"?) now.

How about you?
