You would have to take haulage and public transport out this costing else it would harm the economy with food/goods going through roof. The net result car traffic would then not make the thing viable for private enteprise.

Anyway hit on my google search a RAC survey on road use one things is about pay as you go ie tolls motorways major roads. Its clear this would not be supported.
