No, not all rural roads are paved. Many rural areas have unpaved roads made of gravel, dirt, or other materials, which can vary in quality and maintenance.

In some regions, unpaved roads can provide essential access despite being less developed.

Local roads are typically maintained by local governments, such as city or county departments of public works or transportation. These agencies are responsible for the upkeep and repair of local roads, including activities such as repaving, pothole patching, snow removal, and signage maintenance. Funding for maintaining local roads often comes from local taxes and government budgets.

Early toll roads were developed primarily to fund the construction and maintenance of roads, which were often expensive to build and repair. By charging users for access, tolls provided a revenue stream that enabled governments or private entities to improve transportation infrastructure. Additionally, toll roads helped regulate traffic and ensure that those who used the roads contributed to their upkeep. This system allowed for the expansion of trade and travel, fostering economic growth in the regions they served.
