Well yeah, but most of my driving is around the suburbs or the small country roads near my house, no complaints I guess, but i wouldn't be paying my fair share of road use.
Plus to cover the full road network seems like a huge expense. I mean you could fund it using a carbon tax, but I feel like paying for tollboths is not good bang for buck in carbon abatement
I'm unaware of any country that setup a road toll infrastructure on small road, tollbooth or otherwise.
This is only for highways and major roads.
