The local man set up his own toll road in the UK without planning permission, and within days 100,000 vehicles were already using it

      Yes. Good for him, and for everyone who got to use his road too!

      Note that

      Despite the Kelston Toll Road not being approved by the local council, Watts hadn’t committed a crime.

      The road was in use for 14 weeks before the council asked for retrospective approval and the nearby highway A431 reopened early.

      He stopped because there was no longer construction for drivers to avoid by paying his toll.

    Morons who needlessly decide to close the roads and/or put temporary traffic lights “for safety” should be personally liable for lost time and fuel.
