You don't have to have a car to derive a benefit from the road system. If you buy anything anywhere at any time, you've used the road sysem. If you live indoors, you've used the road system. If you eat food on a regular basis you use the road system.
Some of the money used to build and maintain roads comes from cars and people who own them...gas tax, licensing/registration, parking fees etc. I'm assuming most comes from general revenue...property tax mostly, but certainly not all.
