Re: road funds
A question of primary importance would appear to be who (or what) actually owns the road and is therefore likely responsible for any injuries which may occur thereon? If each property owner whose land abuts the road is recorded in his or her deed as owning that part of the road or having an easement thereon, it's possible that whether he or she pays into the road maintenance fund may be entirely irrelevant to the issue of owner liability.
Until that question is clarified, this
question would appear to be essentially unanswerable.
