I don’t think people expect streets to be free in the same way you don’t expect the police department to be free, the fire department to be free, public schools, etc.
One of the (many) reasons the Civil War was fought was because the north believed in taxpayer-paid free-to-use roads in order to boost commerce and general welfare.
The south wanted almost all roads to be privately-owned toll roads.
