I have no faith that it would ever actually happen that way. Clearly the billions annually in gas taxes (which were introduced to pay for the highway system, and nothing else) aren't being spent only on the highway system, else our roads would be much less crappy than they currently are. In fact, they should all be like the Nurburgring, if you ask me. I should be able to ride on my bike taking curves just as fast as I want without fear of a pothole or freeze-damaged road right in front of me at every blink of the eye.
