If that cannot be determined, then the mapper has to use best guest based on context, topology, shape, speed limit and other signage. For UK motorways the regulations say motorway access roads are classed as motorways and the road signage confirms it. That is not necessarily the case for links other than to motorways, and possibly not even for all of those (there are always exceptions). I suspect the wiki entry was written in days of yore when a question arose about motorway access roads and it became enshrined as a general rule for all link roads of all types in all countries. Whatever the origin, I think it is time to amend it to something more sensible. -- Paul
