Key:toll

Use toll=* to indicate that a fee must be paid by general traffic to use a road, road bridge or road tunnel. Where only certain classes of vehicles are tolled then this can be indicated using toll:hgv=yes or toll:bicycle=no.

How to map

Only portions of way from which there is no "escape" except for a U-turn should be marked as toll. A toll authority may maintain sections of road that are free to drive on, but charge a toll to pass a certain point. In any case toll=yes should be used on any section of road where a toll must be paid to access it. At minimum the section of highway immediately following a toll booth should have toll tags, but on map styles that highlight toll roads tagging the entire tolled section can help support accurate rendering.

There is no need to tag toll=yes on a toll booth node.

• Where most traffic is required to pay a fee then use toll=yes and identify any classes that are not charged as exceptions, some examples: toll:foot=no, toll:bicycle=no, toll:motorcycle=no or toll:hov=no.
  • Tag a high-occupancy toll (HOT) road as hov=designated toll=yes toll:hov=no.
  • Tag a high-occupancy toll lane (HOT lane) as e.g. hov:lanes=designated|| toll:hov=no.
• When the general condition is that vehicles are not charged then use toll=no together with over-rides for classes that are charged. For example: toll=no, toll:hgv=yes
• It can be helpful for other mappers to use toll=no to explicitly indicate that a road is toll free, for example as exceptions where most other motorways or tunnels in a region are tolled.
• toll=snowmobile - To use the unplowed track during wintertime with snowmobile, one has to pay (annual) fee to the operator. On summertime this same track/road is for general access and no fee.

Use a barrier=toll_booth node on the highway way to map the actual booths, or highway=toll_gantry in the case of barrier free toll gantries where fees are collected.

For road where trucks have different paying status see toll:hgv=*, similarly there is toll:bus=*.

Rendering

OpenStreetMap Americana renders toll roads with a yellow colour.
