We have the technology today to make it happen - GPS in every car tracking every mile driven, wherever it might be. Charges billed to the car owner monthly. I would say that major roads only would be charged - anything internal to your neighborhood would be covered by your property taxes. Personally, I'd be all for user-pay roads, if I could trust the government to give me back the tax money they no longer would need.
