It doesn't help much.

Lately there's a series of signs ("burma-shave" style) along Road 1.

you have a choice...

you can spend your money on car repairs...

or you can spend your money on road repairs...

Funny thing, if it's my money and I'm spending it anyway, I would rather pay a local mechanic to fix my car: think of it as "direct economic stimulus", whereas the Fuel Tax Revenue vanishes into County bureaucracy, while "private" road corps dues are spent on lawyers and "questionable purchases".

I can also control the frequency and severity of my car repairs by adapting my driving style as appropriate for the lack of road maintenance -- but I can't seem to control which roads get maintained, no matter how much money is spent. (Unless, of course, I go ahead and do my own maintenance -- in which case I get 100% of the value for money spent.)

so what is your point? Keep on paying the fees? I am with you on spending my money on a mechanic and do my own road maintenance
