Or is it only us who have to pay to travel in our own country?

Seeing as I live in Kent, very near the M20, I just wondered the same. Not only the visitors and holiday makers but the thousands upon thousands of continental lorries that pound and batter our local roads and motorways, normally having filled up to the brim in France and not paying the exhorbitant road fund licence that British trucks have to pay, and thereby paying nothing toward the cost of the upkeep of said roads. The situation is already a farce if you ask me.
