I got lost in the last couple pages in this thread about taxes and tolls and what-not with roads and provincial highways. If you buy a new vehicle, you pay a tax. Same with a used vehicle. Fill up your gas tank you're taxed, whether it's a miser or a guzzler (more gas consumed = more tax paid). Need to repair a part? You pay tax on the part and most times the labor (unless you DIY, ). Income tax, property tax, sales tax all go towards maintaining a standard of living in your municipality.
So unless I'm renting an apartment, without a job, and not buying anything, I'd expect road maintenance to be covered in the taxes paid. Just like if I'm walking on the sidewalk or cycling in a park, the cost of maintaining that isn't free either.
