In my personal opinion, toll roads and libres share two things in common. Some are good and some are bad, some you pay and some you don't. That said, I am finding that the libres are improving quite a bit.

There are more offices for Policia Federal, municipal police, and military patrols not to mention checkpoints. More places to stop for good, homemade and economical food, gasoline stops, and promotes tourism in small towns. People talk a lot about helping los pobres mexicanos, well this a good opportunity.
In my humble and not very experienced opinion, autopistas present a false sense of security.
