Actually, that is incorrect. I grant you that many roads were
unplanned, but as is evident even from the Gemara Shabbat 33b, where
the Romans' infrastructure building, including bridges and
marketplaces, is discussed by Rashbi and some colleague Tannaim, in
Chazal's days, infrastructure was surely planned and executed by the
government. Note that while roads aren't explicitly mentioned, roads
are what connect bridges to marketplaces, and the Romans are known to
have built a lot of all of those.

Otherwise, I shall continue reading your interchange, which is most informative.
