Toll tunnel/bridge checklist - US

[crazycomputingdotnet]

Florida 275 and Byway is done. (part of the toll roads list).

If it isn't being worked on/done when I get home from work I will start working on the rest tonight after 1 am central.

Thanks for rocking 'Jersey WeeeZer14!

I've only done half personally, the other half was already done and I've just been confirming. I put in notes for some because it would be easy for someone to check the main span and not think the crossing is flagged. Since most crossings in the area only collect in one direction, we have to be careful how we flag it.

I think the only ones left for NJ are the bridges along the shore now. I'm going to take a break for a while though.

Oh, and I took care of the one entry for Delaware also (the DelMemBr).

If the us-13 bay bridge mean the bay bridge tunnel, I did that the first day I could

I do believe it's done, but also was PMing with kentsmith9 about it in terms of which segments were marked as toll, etc. If it is complete, please move it to the completed section. I'm not planning on checking on all of these myself!

Oakland-SF Bay Bridge (I-80 W) (compete based on the below procedure)

Alan and I started a side conversation on the N. California bridges and we decided to bring it here.

I had been marking the bridges using the following procedure. Because you cannot get on the bridge without getting through that one toll gate, I assumed that meant we only need to mark the segment(s) that passed through the toll gate(s). Since technically the bridge should be one segment to the other side (one for each direction on some bridges) until the next junction (when the toll is no longer applicable anyway), there was no need to mark segments after the initial toll segment.

On the approach to the toll booth side again I am only marking the section that passed through the toll booth assuming it made no difference for the upcoming "Avoid Toll" option how many segments were marked before the actual booth for the feature to work.

My objective was to minimize the number of segments that required Toll management. This seemed to best meet the agreed toll road procedures I was reviewing in the related discussion threads, unless I missed some threads along the way. I am happy to support a different procedure accepted by the community if this causes problems I did not consider.

I have only two toll bridges in Oregon, so I have a very small dog in this fight. My understanding from previous threads was to mark every segment which is explicitly a toll-based road. There are exceptions throughout the US where you can get on and off portions of a "toll road" without paying a toll and for these roads, we cannot mark all sections. For those I thought we were marking only the plaza locations, or ramps to the same.

This was, perhaps also, for the reason that if Waze decides to render a toll road graphically on the app, that we'd want there to be a visual representation of the toll road itself, not just the plaza, where that is feasible to do.

We're talking Virginia here. I also believe that were talking about those without moderator privileges.

Pretty much. For one-way tolls there's no way around having to have a split section, fortunately road geometry at major one-way tolls already means its split. For closed toll systems (no way on/off without paying) all segments can be marked. For open toll, eg Garden State Parkway, only the segments going through a toll-plaza/transponder reader should be marked.

For visual representation they are going to have to have a road type for the color seperate from the actual toll flag so we can mark the sections that are from begining to end toll that may not have the ability to actually have the toll flag on it for routing purposes. It isn't going to be easy to see a 10m segment of toll road that is actually going through only the booth.

Just make them longer than 10m.
