So citizen travel is monitored by the government?

Not immensely. It's more along the lines of, if some kind of accident occurs here, it is definitely seen and help gets dispatched. If someone crashes in the woods east of here, hundreds of miles from the nearest city, it may be too late before anyone even knows you need help.
