Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t (until recently) a big deal made out of the fact that fuel taxes weren’t all being spent on roads? I don’t know how much of current road spending is “catch-up”, and whether current road-taxes wouldn’t be sufficient to pay for the steady-state depreciation on roading infrastructure (I realise there are other externalities).

The same principle also suggests there shouldn’t be subsidies for most public transport, does it not?
