Tagging the motorway as oneway=yes makes sure that routing calculations will work correctly.  Sections of motorways sometimes become two-way (usually with a safety barrier down the middle) when the other half of the motorway is closed for road construction.

Actually highway=motorway implies oneway=yes:
