Hello, welcome to OpenStreetMap! I'm going to just let you know that it's reasonable and common for motorway links to have at-grade intersections including signalized ones as they're often intended to connect to other non-freeway roads anyway, and ramps like these should remain motorway links. It's rather that the motorways themselves should not have any signalized intersections along them except for when it's at a terminus.

Hi, thank you for reviewing my modifications and sorry for the mis-edits. I am new to editing OpenStreetMap but am a longtime user. I have to say, I've always found it very strange that motorway links look identical to motorways. 99.9% of the time it works because the motorway link either provides a free-flow connection to another motorway (which makes the link operate like a motorway), or it terminates at a non-motorway (which can be easily assessed from the visual contrast). However, a few very rare types of interchanges, like this one, look misleading since the ramps all appear to be free-flow and are not. Not sure if this is something that's been extensively debated in the past, but I will certainly defer to the rules.

No worries, it can be confusing because the only rendering difference between the highway links and the roads that they connect to on OSM Carto are that the links render slightly thinner and do not render road numbers when tagged with them. Thank you for your response and happy mapping!
