I don't 'like' toll roads... I think they should be identified by their 'reference number' .. things like M2, M5 etc should be T2, T5 ... T for Toll.
I do use them where I need to avoid lots of confusing turns with traffic lights and traffic. Usual this occurs in places I am not familiar with. However there days they tend to use automatic payment systems centered around etags .. these are not helpful for a visitor! They have telephone numbers to call and pay that way .. Some of them are free for motorcycles - at least some in Melbourne in particular.
If you have a GPS these can be programed to "avoid toll roads"! They also help getting into and out of towns. I know both Melbourne and Sydney have toll roads .. Darwin none, don't know about the others
