Unfortunately
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Editing_Standards_and_Conventions#Divided_highways
is
one of the most misunderstood editing standards in OSM. Originally intended
to make sure that motorways and other highways would be tagged as separate
ways, the 'physical separation'  almost seems like a settled law by some
mappers.

For the toll area: it's indeed true that for a distance of say 10 meters
there is a physical separation. That by the way also happens at fuel
stations. And in both these situations it's more like an area in which one
is able to drive one way than visible highways. Map a highway as long as
it's visible. If it's not, than don't map it.
