Tolls vs Vehicle Type
Following from this discussion on the Cruiser app group here, is there an allowance for routing across a toll road when the OSM suggest that the vehicle in question (a motorcycle) does not pay a toll?
It seems that "Avoid Toll" is absolute, regardless of vehicle type and toll property.
My thinking is that if I have "Avoid Toll" on a motorcycle profile within Cruiser app, I should be able to route over any toll road where a motorcycle passes for free.
To clarify, BRouter does not seem to include the toll:motorcycle in the routing data?
So this tag cannot be used in profiles, we get the message "unknown lookup name: toll:motorcycle".
For example this bridge with toll=yes and toll:motorcycle=no: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/4063883
According to this post the motorcycle-toll feature still hasn't been added. There seems to be some kind of addition of the motorcycle-toll parameter to the project but I'm not very savvy with "who did what, pending, commit, push/pull" etc or whether there needs to be a full release before developers can make use of the "engine" for their apps.
For recap, this is using the Cruiser app with "internal BRouter".

This is related to the download data of BRouter (not the code). There is a large data update that has not yet been merged here:
