I would go further and say that for data that can reasonably be in OSM,
then it should be, and osmand should use it.  Having a workaround is
just extra work without solving the long-term problem of open data.

Me too.  In (English-speaking) London, and now New York, there is
"congestion charge" where every day that you operate a vehicle in some
defined area during some hours -- basically center city where it's too
crowded -- you have to pay the congestion charge.  But it's meant to
discourage cars in downtown, not be a country-wide road usage toll.
