No regulations on this practice exist.

2. Highway robbers that paid off the police - this sort of thing is nearly impossible to stop if the police are paid off.
3. Private tolls on private roads - property owners have the right to charge people for passing through their property.

Does your nation have freeways? Yes

Which government entity is responsible for roadway funding? Only answer if applicable Mologiland Department of Transportation
If there is more information you would like to share feel free to put it below. Mologiland has a connected network of national roads (so-named because they connect the nations, not because they are maintained by them) and a dense network of smaller numbered roads.

National roads (usually referred to as N-roads) are the most important roads in Mologiland. They connect the major population centres to each other and often to infrastructure such as major ports or airports. National roads are assigned a number between N1 and N999, depending on their location and relative importance. Motorways are a subset of national roads, and are assigned the letter M in place of the letter N (e.g. N1 -> M1)

The federal government also assigns a list of P (primary) and S (secondary) roads, generally to be maintained by the corresponding nation's DoT, but occasionally some end up being maintained by counties/districts/etc or the federal government. Although the government lists these roads, nations can define additional routes fairly easily, which has resulted in occasional controversy. In 2013, the Expressway classification was added, allowing motorway-like P and S roads to be designated as such. These roads are usually assigned a 1 to 4 digit number (e.g. P2, S1234) and expressways are designated by adding an X before the number (e.g. XP2, XS1234)
