Roads are fundamental to the operation of any government. It isn’t simply that states need to maintain roads. It is that states need roads in order to exist.

Is it right to say then, that the users of the roads pay for maintenance? Do you expect the government to print more money to pay for maintenance?

Edit:

Regressive taxation leads to overfunded main roads and underfunded side streets.

As opposed to both main roads and side streets being underfunded without tolls and road taxes? Do you expect Government to print money to pay for all this?
