[Tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting - Toll Gantry

[Volker Schmidt]

A toll_bridge [1] is a bridge for which you have to pay to pass,
highway=toll_bridge should be a highway that is a toll-bridge, not a
mechanical structure that is installed above a road to check the passing
traffic. This would be a gantry [2]
