You know guys, we should also figure out right here and now how to deal with "left" exits at Interstate splits where both ways are "motorways". Here's such an example:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=36.49591&lon=-80.74103&zoom=16&layers=M
It's the I-77/I-74 split in NC. I-74 splits off to the left using an I-77 exit number (Exit #101). Something like this would need an extra tag on the node where the highways split.
Looks mostly right as is, except I capitalize East (and want it in its own tag), hyphenate I-74 (because it is in a name field, not a ref), and would move the destinations to the towards tag:
exit_to="I-74 East"
towards="Mount Airy / Winston Salem"
ref=101
OR
exit_to_root="I-74"
exit_to_dir="East"
towards="Mount Airy / Winston Salem"
ref=101
Because it is the start of the motorway, I see no reason to call it a motorway_link. I just continue the new motorway right up to the motorway_junction.
