Yeah. I guess it's just kinda weird with roads, since most people expect to be able to get from point A to point B without paying anything for use of the roads, aside from some toll roads (which generally don't pay for themselves, but at least get some revenue).

And, as you say, it does wind up costing a lot, and there are a variety of places where this has caused problems, with decaying infrastructure that likely should be replaced.

It's a complicated problem.
