I'm not trying to be petty but there is no such thing as a black market in a totally free market. If your referring, to weapons, drugs, and sex trades, I'll give you one reason: Who wants to drive on that road? Is there anyone who'd prefer a scary road to a nice one? Unless these people are driven by something else besides profit, they would certainly keep the road "clean."
Correct. Drugs, weapons, and hookers are legal in a free society. There is no black market. The only illegal actions are murder, theft, pollution, and enslavement.
Asking how they would police their roads is like asking how Disneyland keeps people from murdering each other inside its gates. Irvine CA is a private city and has the lowest crime rate for cities over 100k population in the US. Private police and security forces are effective.
German roads have no speed limits on many parts and they have the same fatality rates per mile driven as the United States.
