Usually the details show toll roads are bad. Ideally, toll roads are not needed. Toll roads are a result of failure of government.
It’s also a failure of politics. If you tell people you’re going to raise taxes to pay for the road, you’re probably not getting elected. Toll roads ideally are just another form of tax that is more sneaky than straight up raising taxes.
