I've been thinking about this more, and I think it's a good idea even if it's not perfectly defined. si404 did it for Ireland and Great Britain minus England and it's instructive how many freeways are not designated as motorways. I might make a few different choices (such as including the portions of A55 and A71 between the roundabouts), but it's a good and useful look at what's actually been constructed to freeway standards.

I wonder why M8 wasn't included...

Because it's one of the lines I botched.

Since Si already did a mockup file for Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, should that be the base file we just add other regions to?

If so, Oregon:
I-5 CA/OR OR/WA
I-82 WA/OR I-84
I-84 I-5 OR/ID
I-105 [covered by OR 126]
I-205 I-5 OR/WA
I-405 I-5(299B) I-5(302B) [edge case could include the Kerby Ave ramp, but set that aside for now]
US26 53 I-405(1C)
US30 NicSt I-84(44) [rest covered by I-84]
US97 CR803 272
US97 143 134
US395 [overlaps on I-82 and 84]
OR18 OR22_W OR22_E
OR22 EdgSt OR99EBus
OR22 1 CR82
OR34 LooLn ColSt
OR62 OR62Bus_S OR62Bus_N
OR99 [covered by I-5]
OR99E [covered by I-5]
OR126 I-105/99 OR126Bus
OR132 I-105 OR569
OR213 BeaRd SunBlvd
OR217 US26 8
OR224 I-205 OR212_W
[AirportWay OR213 I-205]

While these are fresh in my mind:
INDKA NH44 TN/KA CarRd
INDTG NH44 OutRingRd_S HighCouRd [point to be added]
INDTG ORR Narsingi* ShiLayFly
INDTG IRR NH44_S NH163
INDTG IRR Rd1 SarPatRd
INDTG IRR MinRd StJohRd
INDTG Rd45/DurCheBr** HitecCityRd Rd1
INDTG OldBomHwy** ORR NH163
INDWB NH12 AJCBFly AH1/WB1-E
INDWB MaaFly NH12 WB1-E

This is a thing I miss from old version of Google maps.  There was a clear darker orange color for freeways that generally aligned with what you would think a freeway is.

In my mind, if it's not the blue or green freeway color from my trusty Rand McNally Road Atlas, that it doesn't count.  ;-)

There was a little thrill of being a "conquistador" when the map hadn't updated to reflect its limited access status.

Now you just realize...oh, probably a couple of hundred thousand drivers figured it out first.
