Oh and its a private road, so they can make any rules they want, its their property.
If they only want to allow lightweight vehicles that do less damage to the road, then that would be their prerogative right?
What if they are some tree huggers that buy the roads, and they don't allow internal combustion engines on them?
What if they said that there will be no pedestrians allowed on the roads, or bikes?
What if someone buys the road your house is on, then refuses you access? Then how would you get home?
Do you see what an issue this could become if in the hands of the wrong people??
Imagine this.. Lets say a company buys up all the streets of Manhattan...
To use the roads you must pay to install and maintain a gps transmitter on your vehicle to bill you for every minute your on their roads.
Vehicles found without transmitters will be confiscated, you will be detained until police arrive.
You will be arrested for trespass, willful destruction of property and so forth for driving on the road, and then sued.
So your like screw it ill just walk...
The company decides to get rid of all crosswalks, and bans pedestrians and bikes.
They then impose a 1 billion dollar toll any taxi that is not theirs to drive on their roads.
This would leave only their taxi and you having no choice but to take it, since you can't walk or bike.
They could then charge you $5 to take you across the street.
In my head I see private security on every corner making sure people do not walk on the road...
If you do walk onto the road, then you would arrested for trespassing..
Then you would be sued and forced to pay a lot of money to cover the corner security that was needed to catch you...
To use the roads you must pay to install and maintain a gps transmitter on your vehicle.
Personally I think roads should be government controlled.
There are more limits what the government can do, than what a private property owner can do.
In a perfect world...
Roads should be shared property, public property. You should "Own" the road that it under your car.
You pay for this road with your taxes. If your car crosses onto someone road (as in under their car), you are at fault.
Save money by getting rid of all the cops on road patrol, and get rid of all the laws on driving. Make it drive at your own risk.
You have a right to travel, you should not need a license to drive, or have to register your vehicle with the state.
Then the tax money that goes towards roads, could be spent on maintaining them.. not enforcing laws stupid laws.
I mean really, think if all federal and state laws on driving were abolished how much money that would save..
You don't need all these stupid laws.. If you break someones property, your liable.
Do we really need to pay cops to sit on the side of roads, car running, burning fuel, waiting to write you a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt?
