What government repairs the road outside your house?

In most countries all public roads are 'owned' by the government and if that is the case then repairs to that road are the responsibility of the government (paid for out of taxes). However some roads in private estates are deemed to be private roads (they have not been adopted by the government). In this case repairs to and maintenance of the road is usually the responsibility of the resident using the road.
