Insofar as govt wants to monopolize and manage the road systems, will it be better if they build double/triple layers of roads on top of each other and increase road tax, instead of simply charging COE? This way, at least they will be providing more services in return for road users' money, just like how a free-market will do. Or how about layers of cable-car-like structures, with people owning their small personal cable cars (modify them to look nicer)?
How about opening up the road systems to private enterprises to manage and compete with each other? After all, some countries have this system of private ownership of roads. And back then during the industrial revolution, american private enterprises built water canals that criss-crossed the US for steam-ships, using private funds. The free-market works in transportation too, just like how it works wonderfully in the tech sector, where there's minimal govt intrusion.
