[Tagging] Free of charge segments of formally paid road

[Dian Ågesson]

Hi Alexey,

In my opinion you would be better placed using conditions to map cases 
in which a toll road can be used without charge. This would imply that a 
toll is applicable for all traffic, unless they are going to leave the 
tollway before the next toll point

Something such as:

toll = yes

toll:conditional = no @ (destination)  OR toll:conditional = no @ 
(local_traffic) OR toll:conditional = no @ (next_exit)
