Privatizing all roads would ironically probably be the fastest way to cut down on oversized vehicles. Nobody wants to pay a quadratic weighted toll on the GVWR of a bunch of extra SUV, but when they have to pay it all in taxes non-quadratically anyway it's a fuck it go big moment.

Let's see... If we privatize roads and every owner (pinky promise) only makes everyone pay basod on vehicle weight... That almost sounds like a tax based on car weight.
The only reason why an SUV is economical for me is I'm pillaging sedan and small car owners by making them pay my share.
