Of course there is!
Roads and Highways are an integral part of our national Shipping system, as well as Defense. Our interstate highway system is the backbone of shipping and transport in America, and there is no way that local and decenteralized control can operate the system efficiently.
Do some research as to the military advantages of having contiguous highways before you decide that they are not neccessary...

This from the same person who wants to eliminate our dependency on oil.
Also, I never said we didn't need roads. I said it could be organized on the local and state levels and carried out by the private sector. We can still build an interstate system but don't need huge federal agencies to do it. Not to mention there are alteratives to big, diesel sucking, trucks such as railroads and ships which carry a lot more freight than one big rig. Lets also not forget that local manufacturing used to provide a lot of the goods we used right here. Of course governemnt helped screw that up as well.
