Trac: about half a dozen already, all saying slightly different
things. There's one situation I hadn't thought of: motorway service
areas attached to motorway slip roads.
Where I'm getting to is:

Again, judging from the pictures, I wouldn't tag any of those ways in
a special manner. They're similar streets that form a grid; a routing

IMHO, they're not really links, they're just streets that happen to

The only problem is that, in this case, it's not a normal-looking
sliproad/ramp, but a surface street that would normally be tagged
