 Who's going to build the roads?

You will.

Private roads are often better made and maintained than government made roads.

And we will use roundabouts not stupid red lights. 
 Roundabouts are stupid too, but you make a point. 🧐 
 Interchanges for highways.
Lights for large intersections.
Roundabouts when you have room.
4 way stops when you don't.
 
 I am seeing roundabouts put in at new interchanges in Tennessee and Alabama last few years 
 Roundabouts are for Socialists.  I think in many cases they are actually less efficient than lights.  Plus with roundabouts I dont get a break to text people or post on Nostr, thanks you red lights 
 Roundabouts vs traffic lights has nothing to do with socialism vs capitalism. It's about traffic flow, not Das Capital.  
 But there is a strong correlation lol 
 US architects and engineers were responsible for the invention of the modern roundabout. Once you're zipping through town using them, there's no turning back 😉 
 Government doesn't build the roads. They use our money to hire contractors to build them. 
 Roundabouts don’t have profitable violations though!! 
 F speed limits as well. 
 idk man, you ever witness people in the states trying to use roundabouts? it's not pretty 
 I don’t know how to build roads. I am going to hire someone that’s going to either overcharge me and/or build the crappiest kind of roads. 
 Sounds like you are a very poor manager 
 Yes, for road construction  
 overpasses and underpasses for all roads faster than 60 km/h. 
 Single lane roundabouts are better, but multi-lane roundabouts are fucking crazy
