A couple of of thoughts - the description on the front page is:
The goal:
At TomTom, we proudly support OpenStreetMap (OSM) communities around the world in the mission to create a more accurate and usable map for all.
As part of this challenge, we’re reviewing toll-related features in OpenStreetMap to identify records that need be updated, removed, added, or marked as non-operational. The focus includes particular attention to distinguishing toll booths, where drivers may need to stop, from free-flow toll gantries, where they may need to slow down, and correcting features that do not represent road tolls. Correct positioning and classification reduce phantom toll warnings, incorrect charging assumptions, and misleading guidance while supporting safer speed management and improving routing, navigation, and the representation of real-world road infrastructure.
How were the tasks in the challenge created?
The tasks were created through a systematic review of the complete set of toll-related features on OSM. TomTom’s local experts manually classified every record as Correct, Update, Remove, Out of business, or Create and recorded any required corrections to the name, category, coordinates, and operator. Reviews prioritized national toll authorities and concessionaires; where no single authoritative source exists, experts combined operator information, OSM tags, available street-level imagery, and local knowledge.
Please note that some tasks may no longer require edits. If the issues have already been addressed by other contributors, feel free to mark the task as “Already Fixed”. If you think that the issue does not require a fix, and is correct as it is, please mark the task as “Not an Issue”.

Do you think perhaps that could benefit from a few fewer words?
A detected item is:

Suggested action: Create new POI
Latitude: → 53.35699
Longitude: → -2.72166
You Should:
Select your preferred editor from the drop-down list in "Completion” box below, then click “Edit”.
Use the most appropriate imagery, ground truth/street view and/or your local knowledge to verify the presence of the toll-related features. You can refer to the task-specific information provided above.
Review the object and country specific wiki pages for any nuances or exceptions you should be aware of.
a. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:toll
b. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtoll_gantry
c. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:barrier%3Dtoll_booth
d. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:barrier
Refer to the suggested location and tags below. You can copy and paste the tags directly into the editor if you choose to. If the value is listed as empty or no change, that means there is no suggestion for this task and the key should be omitted.

Review your edit and ensure that it makes sense from both technical (i.e. tagging, classification, etc.) and practical (i.e. connectivity, navigability, turn restrictions, etc.) perspectives.
Provide an informative and concise changeset comment when uploading your edits.
Upload your edits in OSM.
Select “I fixed it!” status for the edit made.
If for some reason a map edit is not necessary, or possible, choose one of the following statuses:
“Already fixed” – If the suggested changes are already made by someone outside of the challenge.
“Can’t Complete” – If you were not able to make edits due to low-quality, outdated or unavailable imagery, or conflicting sources.
“Not an Issue” – If you find that the issue wouldn’t require a fix, and based on your knowledge, the map is correct as it is.
