The problem is the number of taxpayers who are covering the costs. A road that handles heavy traffic generally has a lot of commercial activity to support it. A cul-de-sac that has 6-10 homes, means only 6-10 tax payers. And it's not just roads, it's pipes, copper/fiber, EMS, etc. Even if the maintenance cycle is 2x longer, the tax base isn't there to pay it.
