How to map toll restrictions

• Mark a road segment as a toll segment only: Need to verify if this is true still

1. The segment is an entrance to a road where there is a toll booth, transponder reader, or other tolling device
2. Do not mark the toll restriction for segments that lead up to the final toll segment even if they have no other exit except the final toll segment
3. Do not mark the individual transponder locations along the length of the toll road

Note Waze assigns a large penalty for each road segment marked with a toll restriction if a user has avoid toll roads selected. Marking each toll booth/transponderfor segment would route the user off at each exit if the user does not understand the setting selections.
