peaceful and beautiful.
A road is an identifiable
route, way or path between places. Roads are typically
smoothed, paved, or otherwise prepared to allow easy travel;
though they need not be, and historically many roads were
simply recognizable routes without any formal construction
or maintenance.
In urban areas roads may diverge through a city or village
and be named as streets, serving a dual function as urban
space easement and route. Economics and society depend
heavily on efficient roads. In the European Union (EU)
44% of all goods are moved by trucks over roads and 85%
of all persons are transported by cars, buses or coaches
on roads.
The United States has the largest network of roadways
of any country with 6,430,366 kilometres (3,995,644 mi)
(2005). The Republic of India has the second largest road
system in the world with 3,383,344 kilometres (2,102,312
mi) (2002). People's Republic of China is third with 1,870,661
kilometres (1,162,375 mi) of roadway (2004)... |
