er, no. Motorway rules still apply. There are plenty of examples in the UK
where the physical motorway sliproads share the same piece of asphalt.
Indeed, some motorway to motorway slip roads use this approach. There is
always a double white line down between the two directions (and normally the
plastic bollards that socket into cats eyes) but they are not truly divided.
