Murray Rothbard's book, The Ethics of Liberty, is about how all the functions of government could be performed by the free market. He talks about roads, utilities, etc.
When I travel, I often think about how the country would be different if government did not build the roads. I think you would probably have a fewer roads, less sprawl, and more density because each road would only be built if it were, for some entrepreneur or land owner, the best investment opportunity.
