You are mixing things that should never be mixed: when you pay taxes, road maintenance - including removal of rocks and trees - is a service that you paid for and you have to get. Enforcing safety belts is not a service for you, it is a measure imposed by coercion by the state that believes it knows better. There is no similarity between these.

Also, the fact you pay for road maintenance does not indicate what maintenance is. People could be on the "I like looming rocks, they give character to this road, instead use my money to lay new asphalt instead of wasting it on landscape" camp. But the state thinks it knows better than you that exploding looming rocks is more important than letting you drive faster.
