It would be nice if the default style read the values from the
highway=motorway_junction node at the start of the ramp when available,
otherwise you get examples like Tulsa, OK where, no matter what exit you
take from Skelly Bypass (I 44), it tells you to "exit right to Skelly
Drive."  There are no exits named Skelly Drive on the Skelly Bypass,
it's more or less assumed that everyone knows it's the local access
versus express lanes of the same overall roadway.  Thus, having names,
exit_to's or refs from motorway_junction would be a lot more useful.
