Most of the revenue to maintain the roads comes from fuel duty & VAT.

The revenue to maintain the roads comes from general taxation. All UK
taxes go into one pot and are distributed from there.

It's still possible to look at the tax collected and spent, and see that
in a general area the one provides the other.
