Would it be possible to FLAG the 2k orphan / singleend motorway_links
with an unreview tag?

regarding exceptions that prove the rule

A couple of places where I wish we could fix the actual highway -

we have a streetlight between in interstate toll booth exit ramp (Mass
Pike I-90) and start of a free interstate bypass/spur misnamed(?)
I-291 that must have an exemption or two from federal rules -
http://osm.org/go/ZeV9lxiN-  (i suggest misnamed since I-2xx are
supposed to be bypasses with both ends on parent I-xx, so unless there
are abandoned plans to continue it north to I-91 it should be a
I-1/3/5xx Spur) They had to use the strobe red on the traffic light at
the turn, since sensible drivers know there's no traffic light after
toll going from one interstate to another right?

then there's this piece of work in Newburgh NY -
http://osm.org/go/Zc8iNVj6- where several stoplights and a shopping
plaza are substituting for a motorway_link ramp.
