Having many authorities for one thing in different areas would lead to confusion and grey areas about who is responsible for exactly what. How would the private road authority makes its revnue ? Who would patrol the system ? If the police, then does the mony from fines go to the authority or government or what ? If we can't get the system working under one authority how can we get it to work when it is split up ????? Vince
