There's "morally OK", and then there's "love your neighbor". If a road is used to traffic an ambulance saving a life and also a kidnapper, the hands-off road builder is "morally OK". But, in the world we really want to live in, if the road builder has some reasonable means to disallow road usage for kidnappers (excuse the hypothetical), they, in love of the victim, should.
