There's one thing they seem to be forgetting.

How the fuck are they gonna send that many people to warrant the road-building? I mean, they could, but would definitely break their banks.

Honestly the number of people required to send is zero, because they're for vehicles and it isn't a strict requirement that they have humans in them.

As long as there is "stuff" that needs transporting, you'll want vehicles, and if you want vehicles you probably want roads.
