I will point out that in my experience, private roads do not tend to be as well maintained overall as public roads with some notable exceptions in very wealthy gated communities.
Ironically, I've had the opposite experience. The nearby Dulles Toll Road, Greenway and Beltway HOT lanes are all in much better condition than all but a few of the rest of the local roads. My buddies out at http://hoveroad.com/ don't keep the roads in as good shape, but they are in excellent repair for an organization that maintains 157 miles of roads on a $1M annual budget. Vastly better than what I've seen a municipality achieve for the same price.
Stop it, Bill.
Owen didn't say "privately owned *toll road*"; "very wealthy gated communities" are even still rarely large enough to need their own turnpikes.
If you keep setting up straw men, we'll be happy to knock them down for you, but you'll end up looking a little foolish.
(A) The referenced example, the HOVE RMC, is 157 miles of privately owned road which is neither a toll road nor a gated community. (B) That was a private message to you and Owen. Is there a particular reason you felt the need to add nanog back to the recipients list? -Bill -- William Herrin ................ herrin@dirtside.com bill@herrin.us Owner, Dirtside Systems .........
