the reason that roads "zigzag" while going up steep mountains is so that the incline is more gradual rather than being straight up. For example, if a mountain is 50 degrees up, that would be quite an incline for most vehicles, so they zigzag the roads so that each short portion of road goes up say 30 degrees, which is a much more reasonable incline for people and vehicles.

Why convex mirrors are fixed on very sharp turns of the roads of the mountains?
Convex mirrors are fixed on very sharp turns of the roads of mountains Because convex mirror diverges the image and due to divergence we can know about the car coming from the other side of the turn as the image reflected is greater.

Why are the roads in hilly and mountainous regions zigzag?
Zigzag roads in hilly and mountainous regions are built to reduce the steepness of the incline, making it easier for vehicles to ascend or descend the slopes. This design helps to minimize the strain on vehicles, increase safety by improving visibility around corners, and prevent erosion by controlling water runoff. Additionally, zigzag roads are constructed to take advantage of the natural contours of the terrain, making construction more efficient and cost-effective.
