I think the only 'nit' I was 'picking' was the implication that a stretch of 
single carriage way road approaching the motorway should be tagged motorway. I 
think it's fairly obvious that these sections are simply motorway_link 
elements. The signage and other indications have caused drivers problems in 
the past which is one reason - as I indicated earlier - most of the approaches 
around here now have central divides in place, so form two carriageways even 
if it is one road surface?
