Probably the best plan to fund road infrastructure would be to make all (most?) roads into toll roads, with tolls whose price floats as a function of instantaneous supply and demand, and is low for trucks/commercial traffic/motorcycles and high for private automobiles. I realize this is a tall order.

This would be a significantly regressive tax, like sales tax. Why is this the best plan exactly? Why have lower taxes on commercial traffic and trucks, which cause a relatively larger amount of road maintenance?
