Here you are tapping away at a machine of complexity beyond the point the human mind can comprehend which required the innovation and creativity of teams of elite scientists for decades to create and you believe that the only way for the invisible hand to fund sidewalks is by setting up toll booths every stretch of concrete!
Don't worry. I'll do the thinking for you by utilising my superb business analyst skills to provide a glimpse into the sophisticated road market of the libertarian future!
Toll booths are expensive and obstructive, eventually retardcorp would have given up the enterprise and put the roads and sidewalks up for sale relative to their value. The following arrangements would occur to determine how it is all paid for in ascending order of complexity.
Property.
There is only 1 user dependant on the road in front of their home and they own it.
Contract.
There are many cooperative users and a contract was able to be agreed apon to collectively own the road. Roads tend to be tied to assets and influence land values thus close knit communities, real estate developpers and land owners could easily make a contract as simple as "you own this building, you pitch in for road maintenance".
Negotiating firm.
There are many uncooperative users with different needs, there are competing roads and there is no realistic way of them negotiating a way to form a contract on their own, thus a firm provides this service for them by uniting the negotiating power of those dependant enough on the road to agree to contribute a source of payment for road owners. Negotiating firms would cut off road owners who set up expensive toll booths or do not repair their road properly and may even buy up roads themselves, whilst at the same time rewarding road owners who attract more dependant users. Negotiating firms may well also buy up roads and perform the service of generating contracts and tying them to property as described in the above paragraph. Also after the market begins to heat up, competing NFs would attempt to expand their clients by attempting to less important demographics such as average family car users. They may well manage to gain small donations from 1000s of average family car users in an area in order to pay for easier access to a supermarket or something in that order.
