Many years ago I had a driver's ed teacher who told me to always drive defensively not offensively. Having lived and driven in several major cities, I have found the advice to be sound but one which essentially everyone ignores. Speed limits cannot be considered in any way to be self-governance but no intelligent person could argue that traffic would flow more smoothly and be more safe without them. Beyond this, if totally self-governed, no one would pay taxes which build the highways to speed up and down.

And too, a Libertarian government is an enigma to self-governance. Who knows, there may be hundreds of millions of Americans who are Libertarian but who refuse to vote for any government. LOL!

Actually, there are entire position papers laying out how "privately" owned freeways and transportation systems would be much more efficient than the current monopoly.

Google is your friend.
