To stick within the rules you can't go on what locals tell you - even the police. In 2016 @Swissy was penalised for using a motorway in Macedonia that the police told him he could use. IMHO he didn't get a big enough penalty as he missed the slow, gravel road and saved a night, so went from being level with me to finishing about 12 hours earlier! ;)
I guess in that situation, if the road has been officially downgraded and the motorway signs have gone, but the maps haven't yet been updated, it would be ok.
