Following the examples on the wiki, I think it should be fine to tag destination=Holt Rd on the motorway_link in this case: http://www.aaroads.com/midwest/indiana070/i-070_eb_exit_077_04.jpg - for example. Or am I getting that all wrong? The confusion arises partly from the strange terminology used on the wiki page like 'uplinks' and 'downlinks' - I don't understand what those are.
