The point is that roads are a necessity. You cannot have a working society without them.
Supplies to the shops. Employees to their companies. Your mail.
Everyone benefits by an efficient road system; even those who don't use it themselves.

So, what will you tax? Road usage, or road benefit?

It may seem logical to lay the cost at the users, but it isn't with other institutions like care for the elderly, the penitentiary system, the army, etc.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
