I mean, if it's a natural monopoly, then it should be public. Roads aren't private right ?

  Not all roads are public. Many toll roads are actually privately owned by the toll company.

    Most toll roads are actually public but then under a management contract with a private party for toll collection/enforcement.

  I'd compare it to utilities like PG&E or ConEd. These are private companies. But since they're considered natural monopolies, they are more highly regulated than a typical company.

    And that has not worked out well for PG&E. Or rather, for its customers. I'm sure its executive team is doing fine.

  Some are.
