Roads

The people of a place cannot  live in isolation. They have to remain in touch with the people of  other places foa various reasons. Roads are the means of travelling  from one place to another. Man has been building roads since the earliest days. In ancient times good roads were few and far between. Now-a-days, we have many good roads. Some countries have more roads than others. There are many good roads in advanced countries. But only a few in less advanced country. Our country has only a few good roads, so out country is undeveloped.

There are two kinds of roads: metalled and non-metalled. Metalled roads were first built by Macadam in England in the 18th century, so they are also called macadanised roads. They are built of stone chips and coal-tar. Metalled roads motorable. They are less liable to wear and tear.

Roads are very useful to us. They develop trade. If we have good roads, we can send things that we produce in excess and bring thing that we do not produce or produce in small quantities. Roads also help the growth of industries. If we have good roads, We can bring men, materials and machines for our industries and send the products to other places.
