The "silk road" was a path that caravans of traders took between China (the then only source of silk) to Europe. Therefore it was not a road as we would know one in the modern sense (fit for wheeled vehicles). The rout was used by caravans of pack animals and merchants went in convoy with armed mercenary guards to protect their goods.
Along the "road" trading cities grew and flourished - goods were moved from trading post to trading post by different merchants rather than from end to end, the journey would have been too long.
There were the equivalent of service stations established along the route, where caravans could stop for breaks in the journey.
