If anything, eliminating cars would probably improve the roads since there will be much less wear and tear. People will still be walking there and want a good walking experience, so improvements will still happen.
Loaded-up big trucks/semis and frost-thaw cycles are the source of almost all road wear. Less passenger cars/SUVs/unloaded pickups wouldn’t really matter.
