Privatising roads would benefit drivers and taxpayers

Governments do not always support mobility. The Duke of Wellington objected to railways because they would "only encourage the lower classes to move about needlessly". United States secretary of transportation Ray LaHood seeks "to coerce people out of their cars". Both men achieved much and merit our respect, but should those who consider that others travel too much really determine transport policy? If road users pay the appropriate costs, why should they be denied roads? Indeed, why should the provision of roads be a government function?
