[talk-ph] motorways leading to nowhere?

[Ed Garcia]

That's a very good definition ... I agree it is *not* a motorway.  That
"highway" was made so that it serves as a bypass road for the towns of
Orion, Pilar, Abucay, Balanga, etc to go straight to Mariveles. I passed
this road several times before when I was mapping POIs at Mariveles and I
really wondered why it was ever classified as a motorway.
