In this changeset, a user removed toll=yes from nearly all portions of a paid motorway in Morocco (Autoroute A1) and only left it around the toll booths. You can see the comments of the user on the changeset. For example they left it on this small part and this small part, because they stick to the toll booth I guess, referencing the wiki.
Am I the one who misunderstood the key? Isn’t it for any road that is pay to use? Be it through a toll before entering it or after leaving it where there is no escape? That is the logic I understood.
I think the sentence on the wiki that confused the user is: A toll authority may maintain sections of road that are free to drive on, but charge a toll to pass a certain point. In that case, only the area around said point should be marked as toll., because all of their arguments revolve around this sentence, which I agree is very confusing, because then it says Only portions of way from which there is no "escape" except for a U-turn should be marked as toll.
The motorway is paid, I don’t understand the logic behind only adding toll=yes to sections that stick the the toll booth…
I don’t have enough knowlege about the US road system, I’m only asking about when to use toll=yes, only near toll booths like on the example or on the whole motorway that has to be paid at some point.
I personally use toll=yes on any section of road that a toll must be paid to access. So basically for the whole toll road not just at the toll booths. Or since around here the toll booths have been removed and replaced with electronic toll collection via cameras and gantries with sensors over the roadway.
Concur, here every meter of Autostrada subject to toll is tagged here as such. You pay by the km. Register in, exit register out and the Telepass computes how much you owe, auto-debited from your bank account. A few stretches for instance around Milan have a fixed price, no matter which entry point you came on. The parts not tagged with toll are, duh, the service station ways.
Tried to rewrite it a bit to be closer to actual consensus. Now it states
Only portions of way from which there is no “escape” except for a U-turn should be marked as toll. A toll authority may maintain sections of road that are free to drive on, but charge a toll to pass a certain point. In any case toll=yes should be used on any section of road where a toll must be paid to access it.
