You only benefit from the road infrastructure used to transport goods to your location, more or less. Yet your taxes clearly go into a general revenue stream that could be used for any road in the entire country.

Anyway you don't get to pick and choose with taxes - although car owners are the absolute worst at wanting things like bicycle licensing.



Yes. So you live in the middle of the country. Some goods come from East, some West, some South, other from the North. It’s good that the infrastructure exists everywhere, no?


My point is you don't get to pick and choose. Lots of roads will never benefit for me, yet some % of my tax will be allocated to them. Learn to live with it, I suppose - anyone critical of extreme car-infrastructure overbuild had to learn to live with it 75 years ago.
