Many toll roads are privately owned by corporations on some sort of deal with the Gov't. They must follow certain rules. But the corp. builds the roads and maintains them.

Sometimes you can question the rate. You have your ticket as proof of what has been paid. There is a station manager on duty during the day at the caseta.
You can also refuse to pay the toll, asked to be backed up so that you can park and speak with someone. Sounds like a PIA but when rvs are not common vehicles in Mexico, sometimes we need to question and ask for results.
I realize that it could mean closing down a lane and we have done that before. We pay for the SUV and 2 ejes excedentes for the trailer. We accept no other charge. Once on the way to Morelia the fee was so outrageous we asked to back up. They got out the guards, the cones, and helped me back up. We turned around and took the libre.
Once you pay the toll, it is hard to get your money back. Some people just pay and then say, "well, that's Mexico" when in reality it is the lack of ability to speak the language.
