Roads in the USA are paid for by gas taxes, tolls and car and truck registration fees. In most states, only people who drive and/or own vehicles pay for road maintenance. Any person who does not wish to pay for roads can simply choose to not drive or own a vehicle, and he/she will not be paying for roads.
Then explain why you, a resident of MD, is paying for our Big Dig in Boston? Federal income taxes pay for roads.

Because each of us pays a federal gas tax when we fill up.

What are you talking about? Congress appropriated money for the Big Dig and that money came out general tax receipts.

The dollars allocated for the big dig were allocated out of the highway trust fund.
