Not a good idea at all, IMO. I can think of numerous places within 50
miles of my home where, due to existing highways being upgraded to
motorway or towns being bypassed by freeway/motorway-grade highway,
there are nodes which have both motorway and non-motorway ways
connected, because the motorway lanes empty directly onto the old
highway, or (when traveling in the opposite direction) the only way to
avoid entering the motorway section is to have turned off at some
previous intersection.
