What is the source of the information for each motorway listed on the above 
page?

I note from the above page that the M50 is a road " linking the M5 at 
Tewkesbury to Ross-on-Wye.".  There seems to be a whole lot of segments in 
OSM which probably are the M50, but are not made into a way or tagged.

If anyone is familiar with that area, and knows where the M50 starts and 
ends, they might like to make it into a way and tag it appropriately
