The amount of damage you do to the roads is exactly proportional to how many miles you drive on the roads. Where the roads are doesn't matter.
What you're describing is a billing detail - how do ensure the right chunk of those fees goes to the owners of those roads? And that leads to the conundrum I posed - without tracking your location at all times there's no way to prove what number of miles were in one municipality versus another.
- sogjis 1y agoIt depends more on vehicle weight than miles driven
- Arainach 1y agoIt depends on axle weight, not vehicle weight, and regardless of weight is directly linearly tied to mileage. Road fees aren't just for the damage you're causing - they're for construction, signage, and many other pieces of infrastructure whose usage depends more on mileage than weight.
- slau 1y agoYes, that was exactly my point. A local government handing me a bill that is not proportional to which roads I was driving on. There are many systems, many of them imperfect. The vignette system, per week/month seems maybe the most responsible, as it guarantees I’m paying my due in the place of and proportional to the amount of time I will be using the roads.
