[Tagging] Free of charge segments of formally paid road

[Kevin Kenny]

The toll road nearest me is now cashless, but used to have a system where
you get a tag when you get on the road and present it to the toll-taker
when you get off - toll was calculated based on distance.

For intra-city travel, the toll was waived - you'd still get a ticket and
have to present it, but the toll was $0.00.  But if your origin or
destination was outside the city, the toll included the mileage of the
intra-city portion.

(It still works that way but there's no paper ticket or handing over of
cash - the transponder in your car identifies you, or else a license plate
reader identifies you and you get a bill with a small surcharge.)

I've never tried to map "toll waived for intracity travel" - I just call
the whole thing a toll road and don't trouble to map the exception. Let
people be pleasantly surprised.
