Default Re: Why aren\'t there more private roads?

(not sure if you saw my edit, but I was asking if there was anything beyond that)


Obviously that is the first big reason. But Im not sure its exactly sufficient.


There seem to be many many examples of publically owned roads that charge fairs, yet have little to no competition.

It is simply an issue of subsidy? I mean, there are many examples of subsidized entities that get their fair share of private competition. Is this just an example of a situation where the subsidy is so great to overcome all competition? Or is there a barrier.
