Usually, but not always. Exceptions have existed either at the
beginning of a motorway, where the last escape for non-motorway
traffic occurs, say 100m before the directions separate. France used
to have a few stretches of single-carriageway motorway. Consider that
motorway is a legal classification that conveys certain restrictions,
and these _can_ occasionally apply on roads that would surprise you.

Also, although no longer a motorway, the Carrington Spur in Manchester
was an interesting edge case:
