The principle of supply and demand can exist outside of the context of a free market. As long as there's some mechanism to set the price based on a balance of the two variables.

But public roads are usually for the use of the public. At most there's a difference of a few dollars if you're just traveling a short distance. This arrangement just seems to be milking people for money, and I don't want to see public spaces go in this direction.
