There are also other ways to finance the maintenance of the roads, these are some ideas:

  1. Financing via fuel tax: If fuel prices could be taxed higher, the additional revenue could flow into maintenance. An advantage of who pays much ferry indirectly also more for maintenance.
  2. Funding via car tax: To increase the annual costs of the car tax could also serve as an income to finance the roads. Here you could also use SUV e.g. more tax than example or even more expensive vehicles, thus creating fairness.
  3. Financing via other taxes: You could also take the money out of the tax pot. Then everyone would finance the streets, but also the people who do not use them.
  4. Funding via transport infrastructure funds: Funding from a combination of taxes, usage fees or bonds, which is submitted specifically for this case, shall provide these funds.
  5. Funding via fees for special vehicle types: as already mentioned in the KFZ controls, vehicle types which use the road especially can also pay more money for use for maintenance with a separate fee.
  6. Financing via CO2 charges: Climate-damaging vehicles could also pay more charges and this money could be used for instant maintenance. This would encourage even more climate-friendly technologies, but it could also meet people who cannot afford another car.

As you can see, these are some ideas that can serve to finance the instant maintenance of the road networks. Some are fairer than others and this also applies to other contra and pro aspects.

Precautionary taxes are NOT intended. They therefore differ from fees and charges.

Correct, however, the additional revenues fill the pot from which the means for this purpose can then again result.

One could also increase the car and oil taxes.

Why increase? It only needs to be used correctly and not disappear in general

yes, e.g. that the car tax is used for this
