The fundamental problem is government.

Government roads are – like government schools – owned by the government, though both are financed by you and I, whether we like it or not. Even if we don't use them, we are taxed to pay for them. But we enjoy no meaningful control over what we're forced to finance.

Land is expropriated to accommodate the government's schools and roads; the former owner "compensated" to whatever extent the government considers to be "fair" – irrespective of the cost to the former owner. The public is then permitted conditional use of the government's property, which is very cleverly styled "public," implying they are "owned" by everyone. Yet no one – except government – has any meaningful ownership claim over that which the government controls.

In this way, the people are fooled into believing they have gained something at no cost as opposed to paying a very heavy price for it. Former rights – including to travel, freely – turned into conditional privileges given (and withheld) at the pleasure of government.

But without government, some cry, there would be no roads!

This is like saying that without government, we'd have no food.

Interestingly, there were roads – and food – long before government began asserting control over them.

Needful things create an incentive to provide them, which some people do and which other people are happy to pay them for.
