Nice try dude.
The Tenth specifically states that the gov can't do stuff like this if it's not in the constitution.
The Ninth says that just because they didn't say "you can use public roads without conditions", you still can do so.
The Fourteenth (like it or hate it) extended these restrictions to the States as well.
