I do understand your point, but a dozen or so people on talk-us and the six or so people on that changeset 64919426 discussion all disagree with you.  Is there nothing that would make you reconsider? 

The “freeway traffic pattern” is just a guide, right?  I’m sure you wouldn’t downgrade motorways around stuff like toll plazas and bridge/tunnel approaches just because the traffic slows down there..

In this case, the renderer is correct, and it’s making your unusual tagging preference stand out clearly on the map.
Would you at least consider tagging the last 500 feet or so as motorway_link?
