For a wide area as shown on the satview, I would make a few roads side-by-side to catch all the gps tracks. Don't forget to join them right (connectivity) on the start and end-junction. You should also mark the roads as "Parking-lot-road". This prevents unwanted traffic jams at the toll-booth.

And right over the toll-booth you may create a landmark called "Toll-booth".

May be serviceroad is an better alternative, because it is routable.

If it is busy, there will be a queue on the access or exitroad, so the messages will appear then. But if there is one person with Waze (in the car behind him), that has to look for cashmoney too long, there will be a direct message about a traffic-jam. And that's info you don't want to appear.

I would say if it is really wide, like 8 lanes per side, then another road would make sense so people who have record turned on are less likely to create roads. However, I would not create it as Parking Lot roads because, while they are routeable, they have a VERY high penalty. Just create it as the same road type as the original.

Why? If it causes a backlog, it causes a backlog and you want waze to report that! Over time waze will lower the average slightly to reflect that. It's no different to any other sections of road!

The solution is not to create extra roads there.
You only need to move both the lanes to the center of the tollbooths (use the view panel - 'color by azimuth' to get the exact center of these roads). You shouldn't have problems afterwards, Waze is smart enough to snap to those roads.

I have started making some changes to that area as per the inputs I got from you all. For the time being, using azimuth color, I have updated the geometry of existing roads to try and keep them centered by GPS. I also noticed that the existing road of one side had incorrect direction which I have fixed. I would be monitoring my changes in the next weeks to see how it works out.

If waze is able to map the vehicle on this single road, then I would want to not make multiple roads on the map as that would be visually incorrect and potentially misleading.

I have requested AM rights for this area to better tweak it.
