Thanks for the prompt reply.
I think we are in agreement but I'm not sure whether I articulated my point properly.

I'm suggesting that every segment of road currently marked as "motorway" starting from  https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1302954124 and continuing south until https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/11162225087 be changed from "motorway" to "motorway_link", on the basis that those road segments are situated after the "end of motorway" sign.

Does that seem more suitable than how it's currently mapped?
