[Tagging] Free of charge segments of formally paid road

[Peter Elderson]

Following the wiki, the satnav should say there are 3 (segments with) toll barriers I think. Which is correct and valuable info. It does not matter how the tollfree section is tagged: no toll tag at all or toll=<NOT yes>.

Around here, toll generally depends on the length, it doesn’t get more expensive if you leave and reenter the motorway in the middle (but eventually you pay the “price” of loosing time while queuing).
