Re: Why aren\'t there more private roads?
[ QUOTE ]
And just to make it clear, because I don't think I did, private road owners emphatically WANT to connect to other roads, because connecting roads are not in competition, they are in cooperation. They increase the incentive to use your roads by increasing the number of properties that can be accessed by your road, as well as increase the traffic flux onto your road.

Well, yes and no.
Obviously a road owner wants connections to his road, since it increases the amount of people that can access his road, which directly increases business. This, I clearly agree with.
However, this doesnt apply to the situation where there is a road connecting A to B, and someone wants to compete by creating an alternate route from A to B.
Basically, you wouldnt want to connect to roads that you compete with, just the roads that complement your road.
