Yes, Minnesota could do better. But,
We have double the number of road miles per capita as Texas, spreading dollars thin.
Ice damage limits the amount of flyovers and elevated sections that make interchanges more efficient that we can do without spending a fortune on their maintenance. So we're stuck with cloverleafs everywhere. Snow removal would cost more, too, since you can't just plow it into the ditch.
Freeze-thaw in general sucks up a lot of maintenance dollars that could otherwise be spent on improvements.

Toll road revenue is usually negligible. Texas is something like 3% of the spending on roads. MNPass tolls are mostly about traffic management, not revenue. It just about breaks even after paying back capital and ongoing operations. (Not to derail this thread more, but I have no problem with a govt service breaking even)
