Cool. I assume that's a toll road. Now let's say every single separate road you travel on was owned by a separate company - how would you pay your tolls? In cash, every 30 seconds? Would you have to install a tracking device on your car that any road owner can tap into? Who'd control access to such a thing? How would you ensure that they don't display monopoly-like behaviour, like the identity verification/credit check/etc companies of today? Could the road owner outside your work or your home jack up the prices to make it prohibitively expensive to take your car there? How'd you prevent that? How would you ensure that somebody didn't buy up all the major roads into or out of a city and make it prohibitively expensive for poor people to access the city? How would you ensure that somebody didn't sit on their monopoly on the route to or from wherever you need to go, and refuse to perform repairs? The whole thing could, potentially, work for the countryside, where land is cheap and plentiful and if you don't mind wasting economic production on duplicating and triplicating and quadrupling routes just to make your fantasy work out, it might work. Except wait... America's got a privatised industry which theoretically competes with road travel already and has many of the same restrictions - the freight rail industry - and when's the last railway that got built? Apparently it's prohibitively expensive to buy the land.
