In Italy e.g. the end of motorway sign (like the one above, but green)
is placed at the end of the "area di competenza autostradale" and this
includes motorway_links (and strictly speaking also service areas,
that are not even tagged as motorway_something)

the speed limit is not something that defines whether something is a
motorway or not, just an hint to understand whether the situation is
that of a long motorway_link or not
