Roads are both. You need to be able to travel (or have people travel to you), and society benefits from everyone being able to move freely.
I recognize you're playing devil's advocate, but that doesn't make it any less an absurd comparison.
As far as utilities go, every utility bill I've seen has a fixed component and a usage component. The fixed charge helps keep the usage charge lower, inherently socializing some portion of the cost of service.
