As a counter argument , forcing people to factor in the cost of a toll as a factor in making an a given trio could just as easily lead to sub-optimal underutilization of what has historically (in the US anyway) a public good.
People are no more rational about making small purchases than they are about providing the necessary funds through taxation.
I suspect most people intuitively grasp that having freely accessible public roadways is well worth the cost.
