Hi themi97, sure, as per review, it's about 40 lines that should not be motorway_link. Like these way/24758008/history/9#map=18/34.992336/33.961406 and way/150668003/history/7#map=18/34.991461/33.459898
As I can see they were reverted on this week, so no more issues here, thanks!

Hi themi97, did you have a chance to review previous comment? The highway near Limassol should no be changed from highway=motorway to highway=trunk. It's Motorway according to road signs and to wiki about it. It just have speed limit, but still it's motorway. Please revert this change (lines like this way/544798686/history/8 )

Hi themi97!
I agree with both Layft Greater and rand2k. Let's respect OSM wiki about motorway links followed in all Europe. It's simple logic >> "roads which can also be used by non-motorway traffic, should be tagged as something less than motorway_link".
Many dependencies were broken already in systems who use OSM data (like navigations who avoid motorways, i.e. for cyclists). Kindly asking to revert mentioned changes about motorway_link.

Hello Layft Greater!
My point was that OSM types or statuses are about truth on the ground and it's not always equal to government classification. Gov classification is just one of the sources, but only one for OSM.
And this principle is applied in many countries like Greece osm.wiki/Greece#Highways_in_Greece (primary is not only for roads with gov status 2, but also city-level link roads) or in the US (see highway=primary#International_equivalence ) and so on.
And also this common OSM definition is already applied in Cyprus (like E323 and E207 and others in Larnaca, or many E* in Nicosia like E1003, E928, E115 etc.). Even Cyprus government maps show E* roads as primary (for example E113 on https://eservices.dls.moi.gov.cy/img/staticthumbnails/Lemesos_East_Eng.png and many others).
So these are the reasons to mark these roads as primary too, as they have a lot of traffic and are used as city-level connecting roads (and so not to just copy gov statuses). And I hope it's in line with the harmony of other Cyprus road statuses :)
