In San Bernardino County, CA, all but two of these were cases where the 
motorway_link was a ramp that had not been connected to the motorway (which 
I fixed). I'd encourage others to review and connect the ramps in their 
area of interest that are not connected, and for the bulk change to be run 
after that.

Alternatively, maybe a script could be written to automatically link these 
unconnected roadways if their unconnected endpoint falls within a small 
distance (feet) of a motorway and then re-evaluate what is left.
