Do places that have road fees redirect that income into other services or does it usually get looped back into the road maintenance and development? It’d be nice to have some of the funds injected into public transit or similar infrastructure if it ever became common in North America.
In the UK at least tolls have been a way to get private companies to finance the infrastructure (e.g. a bridge) in the first place, and then they collect the tolls for some decades until they’ve made back their investment + X% and then the tolls are removed.
