I don't know what toll plaza's you're going through. Here's my typical experience trying to get to a meeting in SFO:

That's the consequence of 4 freeways all (I-580, I-80, I-880, SH-24) dumping their traffic onto a bridge, and using metering lights to try and keep the bridge itself working.

You’re photo doesn’t show the metering that happens in the opposite direction.

sounds like you’re just upset about traffic metering, which absolutely does work and is unrelated to tolls.
