Why not let the gaps fly?  It helps in short cases, like where US 64 and US
169 run concurrent with the mostly-toll OK 364.  Or I 44 in Oklahoma, which
is nearly entirely toll for its whole length save for brief sections
through Tulsa, OKC and Lawton.  Being able to see that, yeah, it's mostly a
toll route, but you can still use it free between X and Y at a glance is
actually fairly useful.
