That's what I would have thought. Well, at least the 'normal' zoom level whilst driving. |

Later:
A lot. Another example is M23/A23 junction. The joining roads are in black. Same on junction of M25/M23 some slip roads are black. |
Strange. Never had an issue but then I run in 2D mode. Wonder if it's a 3D issue?

| I was zooming around my map in 2D mode whilst looking for examples. Seems that a lot of slip roads are not classified the same as the main roadway that they serve, be it A or M. |

Bang goes that theory then. Wonder why I've never seen slip roads disappear?

It would appear to a zoom (or zoom/speed) issue.
I drove along the motorway, I noticed the finer points of all motorway junctions were missing. I zoomed in. Result:
Manchester bound
North Wales bound
Still very odd. |

I think you need to be more zoomed in. |
Yes my 2599 automatically zooms in to the correct zoom level to show these slip roads. Somehow, you seem to need to be zoomed in further than the images in your opening post (which look to be too far zoomed out, to me).

| I supposed coming to Garmin from IGO8, I was used to a much wider zoom range, from about 100m to around 50Km. |
