I don't know why the author only does an analysis of just property taxes contributing to road maintenance.

Most people in the US are contributing additional taxes in the form of:

* Gasoline taxes

* State and local sales taxes

* State and federal income taxes

Those taxes are available to build and maintain infrastructure as well. Whether they are [used for that purpose] or not is a different question.

I know that I am contributing more than enough taxes to maintain the small patch of road in front of where I live by the author's cost analysis.
