Comment from compdude
Can you also please explain why you downgraded the Everett Bypass from motorway to trunk? It has two consecutive interchanges, so that's generally considered to be sufficient for a road to be motorway.
Really would be helpful to explain this in your changeset comment, especially when this road has been tagged as motorway for years. Thanks!

The "trunks with two consecutive interchanges are motorways" rule seems pretty arbitrary, especially when you can easily find examples from around the world that don't conform to this rule:

Are you confident that this rule is widely accepted?

Also, I must apologize for my lackluster change set comments. It's a terrible habit, and I *really should* know better by now 😞

The rule I mentioned is like the minimum standard for the US, as I'm certain that most people would think that it's improper tagging to upgrade a trunk to motorway if it has one interchange sandwiched between at-grade intersections. Now that I think about it, people have different ideas of what the minimum number of interchanges needed for a trunk to be upgraded to motorway.
Also, for the example you provided, do note that the UK doesn't tag A roads as motorway even if they're fully grade-separated; they only tag M roads or A(M) roads as motorway, so that's different than the US.

I used up the UK tagging scheme as precedent for this rule not applying.
Regardless, I suppose that it was a bit misleading for me to not point out the fact that the UK tagging scheme is based strictly on their designation from a central authority.
