∙ 7y agoI guess that by curves you mean bends. Roads have bends when the terrains requires it. In actual fact, since the Roman stone-paved roads had military purposes, the Romans built them as straight as possible. In some cases they would go straight up an incline. Traders complained that their carts could not go up straight and steep inclines and sometimes bends were added to the roads to make the ascent easier for transport.
