In this case it also happens to be the point at which the road is fully utilized.

The purpose of the express lane is that you don't want congestion. So you keep raising the price until enough people bug out that it's not congested while still maximizing the number of cars going through and paying you the toll.

Call me cynical, but if there was no congestion, who would pay to use the express lanes? Sounds like a good excuse to do some "traffic "studies""...
