What about the roads, /namibia/?

we'll have to reach out to the only people capable of creating roads. We'll petition the local and Federal government of Namibia to build roads in and to our community.

I was envisioning the new society taking a more libertarian stance than modern America, so I was wondering what you guys think about finding private benefactors to build the roads?

Too bad solar roadways wont work. It would be great considering how much sun there is.

It doesn't need to be a large road yet,we could have a simple gravel road laid out to serve as the general protoroad

Ideally we want to connect to Namibia's existing network for trade, so we really need to think of how we'll get the roads going. The authorities probably won't accept a poorly-done gravel road connecting to a highway.

Those will be handy on the farm but god knows what the Namibian government's rules about roadworthiness are.

The government may accept that, but it's probably not in (y)our interest to build such a crappy road.

Something about vehicle maintenance and possible destruction of goods, topped with increased risks of accidents.

Even if they did, couldn't it be said that one of our better goals is to be better than the locals?

>what about roads?
Jesus christ, slow the fuck down. It's not like we're all going to have cars and live in a town bigger than 1 mile when we get there. If we really need roads, we'll just drive over shit until dirt paths/roads form. When we get to the point we need asphalt roads, we'll be affluent enough to afford them.

If our government is statist and militia-oriented,we might be able to do something like the Romans? Something along the lines of it being the militia's role to expand the road system, under supervision of an engineering team?
Pic related, aside from labor the resources we'd need to make them would be pretty common/cheap, and they last longer than modern asphalt.
