 So, what value do you put into there?  The price per km/mile, the
 maximum price, the minimum price?

 As pointed out in the pdf above, in our case depending on what roads you
 use to enter/leave the tollway and depending on how close you are to the
 city, the toll varies per kilometre travelled.

If the toll price is different in every country, we couldn't use a tag
scheme that works everywhere. That schema works in Argentina I think, and
may be in other countries. I posted it to hear opinions about it.

cost:see(link) ?

UK charges tend to be fairly well defined to use cost:vehicle-xxx and I have to 
remember to have my 5p ready when I go over the bridge near Oxford, but here 
they only collect for part of the day and I have yet to work out when I can get 
through free ;)


Flagging ON OSM that there is a charge is at least a start, even if you need a 
ten page document then to work out how much ...

   I know this is a little complex because the cost of the toll is
  different and depends in the size of the vehicle, the time of the day,
  etc. but may be we could do something.

 Here in Australia, we have many toll-roads where another part to the
 equation (time, size, etc) is how far you travel along the road.  If you
 join the road at toll-point A and continue to toll-point B, its a
 different toll than A to C, or B to C.

 There are a couple of short roads which have a fixed value toll, but
 most toll-roads vary the toll depending on how far you travel.

 This is the matrix showing how the tolls are calculated:

cost:car_2axle = $X
cost:car_3axle = $X
cost:motorbike = $X
cost:truck_2axle = $X

cost:truck_Naxle = $X

And we can use something like $X/$Y is the price is different in the rush
hours.

Before electronic toll collection, there were two major types of toll
collection - barrier and ticket. On a barrier toll road, you would pay a set
amount at each mainline or ramp toll plaza, meaning one could put the
default 2-axle amount on the barrier=toll_booth node. On a ticket toll road
you'd get a ticket when you enter that lists tolls to each exit; when you
exit you would hand in the ticket and pay that amount. This can't really be
mapped. (A slight variation would have a standard barrier, but if you enter
midway between the beginning and the barrier you'd get a ticket that
entitles you to pay less at the barrier.)

These two systems are still in use on toll roads that accept cash, and the
former can be mapped as such. Electronic-only toll roads may mimic a barrier
system, but will more likely make it more fair by charging based on
distance (and thus working like a ticket toll road).

AFAIK there is no current suggestion how to deal with this. You could
link to the homepage of the operator / his pricelist as a workaround
(also has the benefit that it will be up-to-date, but has the drawback
that the link might die when they redesign their site).
