Is it legal to build roads and raise funds in rural areas?

Legal analysis: Whether it is reasonable or not depends on the proportion of funds invested at all levels. The general policy is as follows:

2. Rural highway construction funds come from the planned funds arranged by the central and provincial governments, supporting subsidies at the city and county levels and self-raised funds in rural areas.

The Ministry of Communications has made it clear that it is necessary to give full play to the enthusiasm of the broad masses of peasants in highway construction and encourage them to solve various problems in rural highway construction by means of "one thing, one discussion".

4. The state investment in Tongcun Highway is subsidized. Only when the local self-raised funds are in place, the opinions of the two committees of village support are unified, and they are connected with the transportation department and the leading group of rural highway construction in the city, and the implementation conditions are met, can the annual implementation plan be declared.

Legal basis: Regulations of People's Republic of China (PRC) Municipality on Highway Management.

Article 4 Highway management follows the principle of unified leadership and hierarchical management. National highways and provincial highways shall be constructed, maintained and managed by the highway departments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government. Specialized agencies approved by the Ministry of Communications are responsible for the construction, maintenance and management of highways across provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government. County roads are built, maintained and managed by county (city) highway departments. The township (town) people's government is responsible for the construction, maintenance and management of township roads. Dedicated roads are built, maintained and managed by specialized units.

Article 5 Highways, land used for highways and highway facilities are protected by state laws, and no unit or individual may occupy or destroy them.
