All over the US there are private roads and people voluntarily pay tolls to travel them because, brace yourself again, they provide a much more pleasant commute. They deal with traffic congestion immediately, they undertake repairs and maintenance quickly and effectively, without bloated government bureaucracy making repairs and improvements take years and cost tax payers millions of dollars and they do it with their own money.

Toll roads work pretty well for highways, but they would be a nightmare for surface streets. If corporation XYZ controls the street connecting your driveway to the outside world, you are pretty much screwed if they decide jack the toll rate up. What would your solution be? Would you have multiple toll roads connecting to your house so you could decide which way would be the cheapest way to travel to work? Expanding or building new roads would be more expensive and slower then it is now as corporations would not have emanate domain to fall back on if someone won't sell.
