Yeah ... and it should be sufficient (thinking about my previus
message about routing) to lower the speed limit to the plaza
speed. What routing program is going to send somebody through a lower
speed road?

highway=trunk should be set back to highway=motorway.

Besides that, looking at the two toll booths at the Quickway / Thruway
intersection in Harriman, NY, I don't see a big problem with mapping
separate ways for each route through the toll booths. I wouldn't do it
that way myself, but I don't think I object strongly enough to do the
work to revert it back to a single way with lanes=6, 3, or whatever.

Is tunnel=yes optimum for a road that goes through a building? That's
what he's tagged the toll gates as.

But more than any of that, he needs to be responsive to questions
about his edits, and not dismiss concerns.
