That prompted me to wonder what the population split between islands is.
From the Wikipedia page, but I can't find a citation for that particular figure.
So 1/9 of the roading spend is disproportionate to the population: $2.5/9 would be fairer.
With a similar geographic area and only a third of the relative population, SI would need more than their population based share to have equivalent quality roading.
