As the number of cars increases, more money has to be spent on road systems. Some people think the government should pay for this. Others, however, think that car users should cover the costs. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Given the context of the proliferation of cars in today’s world, it raises a question of whose responsibility it is to pay for upgrading

systems. Some argue that

car

owners are responsible for the cost;

, I believe that it is the

government

who is financially and politically powerful enough to make significant changes. It is understandable why some think that private

car

owners should cover the cost of maintaining and repairing the traffic infrastructure. The rise in

car

ownership has gone in tandem with major roads being subject to degradation due to prolonged physical pressure from overload vehicles , which may

would seem too unfair for them. Since there is no scientific paper or official reports of how damaging their vehicles are to the roads as public assets, it would be a great challenge for anyone who makes an attempt to hold

group of people accountable.

Therefore

, the idea of forcing them to cover the cost of

maintenance seems fairly unrealistic.

Nevertheless

is under

financial obligation , the case is much less of a gridlock.

Second

possesses manpower and financial resources necessary for actually making a difference on a massive scale. If individuals have to pay extra for keeping the roads in a good condition,

would give rise to more managing tasks for leaders since they have to compose and pass a new bill, employ staff to administer

Therefore

, a top-down approach to tackle the decline of roads’ quality should sound more feasible. In conclusion, there are still some justifications for making

however

, I believe that only the authorities can make

this

process possible and meaningful since they have the resource and power necessary for it.
