I'm not argueing for something I disagree with.  I'm argueing something would work that I disagree with.

Why do you disagree with it?

A) From the limited data... private roads work better and are safer... even when adjusting for just about everything... but this is limited data.

B) Even assuming the data is better it would take quite the transition period to transition over all of the public roads to private roads.

C)  A lot of the advantages of private roads COULD be adopted by public roads... and like I showed in that paper... some are being considered.

A) What do you mean by better and safer?  Do you mean that private roads are more economically efficient, and are you considering externalities?  Do you mean that private roads have better transportation safety engineering standards than public roads?  Do you mean that private roads have safer construction methods than public roads?

B) If something really is more efficient, why wouldn't you support adopting it?

C) If public roads run as efficiently as private roads, then what advantage is there to the introduction of the private market?
