Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Highways are a classic example of a public good because they are non-rival (use by one person does not diminish the benefits to others) and non-excludable (people cannot be easily excluded from using them). The other options are either private goods (like property and gasoline/heating oil) or goods that are partially excludable and not accessible to everyone (like healthcare).
