I agree. However, coincidentally, I drove part of US-101 north of Ventura, 
CA this weekend and saw exactly that type of labeling on the route. For 
several miles, you'd see a Begin Freeway sign, then a short distance later, 
an End Freeway sign, then an intersection, then a Begin Freeway sign, etc. 
I laughed out loud.

Regardless of the ground truth, I don't agree it should be mapped this way. 
I'm mapping the whole area trunk, turning to motorway only where there is a 
significant stretch (i.e. miles) of no intersections.
