A pity that in areas where the residents pay for their roads,

maintained (unlikely to be used by cyclists) crossing into their

Maybe a system like on toll bridges that use an automatic payment
system like the Humbertag I have stuck to my windscreen that deducts
£1-50 from my account whenever I drive across the Humber Bridge.

Yes, easy to do. It's not the 20th century where manned booths and gates
would be needed.

A few pence could be sent to East Riding of Yorkshire council for my
damaging their roads and not paying council tax to them anymore.

Do you know whether they have a means of taking donations for a "road fund"?

I believe it is called "council tax", but drivers from outside the county don't have to pay it and as such get to use the roads for free.
