Yeah my first paragraph was the important one. Building and maintaining roads is really expensive.

No doubt. And in the United with all the corruption happening at the Local levels it is A LOT more expensive than it needs to be (just look at what happens when some major issue arises - https://www.forconstructionpros.com/infrastructure/article/2... - this was fixed in two weeks - if this project was actually done as "normal" infrastructure project it would have take a year at a cost of like $891 million).

But money is already being collected for these things through 89 different taxations - so more revenue is 100% not the way to fix this problem.
