A roundabout from which motorway slip-roads lead off is not a  
motorway. The only exception is if there are no other roads there,  
i.e. it's motorway-to-motorway only.

Otherwise, yes, it takes the class of the highest road. This makes  
sense when you think of green-signed A roads (OSM trunk), which are  
strictly speaking primary "routes" and you'd therefore be breaking the  
route if you classed the road differently.

A roundabout definitely shouldn't be anything_link.

If (whisper it) you look at any other half-competent map (I  
deliberately don't count Google Maps as that ;) ) you'll see that's  
how they do it.
