• who owns the highways? Do we own the highways? No. It’s a government institution you know.

  The highways are on public property. Private citizens are not the public. Gov't is the public. Gov't owns the land under the highways and might build and maintain the highways but ultimately can order everybody off the public property or lease it to an Arab hiding in Tora Bora.
