With one exception all transport systems in the UK are privately owned

Why should the roads be any different?

"A13 Thames Gateway

"Design, Build, Finance and Operate (DBFO) Contract

"The works are being undertaken under a Design, Build, Finance and
Operate (DBFO) contract on behalf of
Transport for London (Tf L) Street Management by Road Management Services
(A13) plc (RMS). RMS is a
wholly owned subsidiary of RMS Holdings, owned equally by AMEC, Alfred
McAlpine, Halliburton Brown & Root and Dragados."



Which road will be 24.3 kms long. When set against 397412 kilometers of road
nationaly it's not even a layby.
