There's an entire industry dedicated to traffic analysis and selling government these services. Some places are even privatizing toll-roads. The state is using eminent domain to take land, taking out loans and issuing bonds to build the roads, and letting private contractors 'operate' the roads perpetually. If that wasn't bad enough, the state guarantees the private operators a minimum amount of revenue in case there isn't enough traffic to meet some minimum threshold. Essentially, all the same problems as privatized prisons.
