The situation near the hamlet Arispe that David points out is even more complicated.
The residential way that crosses the two motorway lanes does not have nodes at those crossings. The ways are only crossing on the data layer, but they are not connected. So a routing engine would never try to route between that residential and motorway highway: http://yournavigation.org/?flat=31.1513&flon=-105.276856&tlat=31.152765&tlon=-105.273815&v=motorcar&fast=1&layer=mapnik In real life though I guess that it is perfectly legal to exit and enter the motorway at that residential road. That is how it works in the more "lonely" parts of the US... ;-) In this case, the road in question is residential. But I guess similar situations exist for crossings between motorway and track. So I think if we sometimes need to disallow turnings of this kind (if there would be the necessary nodes...), we need to set turn restrictions or tags manually. This would be true in Germany, where often service roads connect to the motorway. But those roads then typically have a sign forbidding exit/entry for normal users. So I would set appropriate tags here. To me, these case studies show that an automatic disallowing of exit/entry on motorways might be creating more manual work than it actually saves.
