I am not happy with this new page. This tag is a tag with very strong local restriction: 2823 of a world total of 3166 are in the Polish city of Krakow. The vast majority of dual-carriageway roads elsewhere are not tagged in this way. This fact should be clearly stated prominently on the wiki page

I updated the Key:expressway page to have a global focus, rather than being United-States-specific. But I noticed that the key:expressway is currently used in 2 different ways. While all expressways are major roads designed for high-speed motor vehicle traffic, they are not often "motorroad=yes",
