It’s also why we say that cars are heavily subsidized: road maintenance, parking spaces, large bridges… all costs that would be significantly down if urban areas were organized around public transit and active transit.
Car infrastructure is a cost paid by all for the benefit of only a part of society.
while biking doesnt need fuel subsidies, paved roads are quite nice.
I don’t know about anywhere else, but in the UK, most roads are paid for from general taxation.
Which is a subsidy.

Road Taxes aren’t sufficient to offset most maintance?
There may be exceptions, but for almost everywhere: no.
They’re awful for the environment and are facilitated by our car-centric society.
Paved roads suck diseased clit.
I agree, but bikes work significantly better on them. Cars not so much.
