[talk-au] People's views on naming on and off ramps.

[Brendan Barnes]

Yeah I see this a lot, too. I think the global tagging standards for
motorway_junction and motorway_link would suffice for the Aussie context
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dmotorway_link

Ie a name tag for the motorway_junction *only* if the junction or
interchange is named. No name tag necessary for motorway_link. Destination
tag and lane tagging goes really well here.
