Without taxes, who pays for roads/highways?

In a country where the government does not collect taxes, who pays for roads/highways?

A little background on the government (it's a work in progress): This government's single purpose is to eliminate the need for its citizens to worry about outside threats while allowing the citizens to act independently from external entities. This means the government will have resources to create a defense strategy from "outsiders" but have no influence on how things are "ran" inside the country. Basically the people live in a sort of anarchy-bubble surrounded by outsider-protection.

NOTE: Realist, modern-day setting. Country could be anywhere from 10M - 1B in population. Due to the issue of "how does a government function without taxes?", assume that the government does not collect taxes for use in road construction/maintenance.
