Roman roads were/are famous for being straight. Even today on traces of old Roman roads, we can still make out their directness. These roads were also paved, with their surfaces consisting of large stones. An example of this ancient paving can still be seen on the Appian way outside of Rome.
Some modern roads follow the path of Roman Roads. After the end of the Roman civilization, the stone paving of the Roman Roads was not replicated. However, some Roman Roads remained important trade routes in the Middle Ages and followed trade itineraries which are still used today.
Roman pavements and roads are made of flat stones on top of each over that slope at either side to let rain water drain off. pavements and roads were often laid on foundations like clay chalk and gravel.

Roads were built in Roman colonies so they can ride chariots on them.
One drawback to the Roman's roads was they had poor drainage. Another drawback for today is they are too narrow.
Well, the roads themselves are lasting effects in a way. Parts of some of them are still usable today. However the main lasting effect of Roman roads is the routs they took. Many European roads follow the same or similar routs of the old Roman roads. In ancient times the roads brought prosperity to the empire and the opportunity for expansion and the spread of Roman culture.Well, the roads themselves are lasting effects in a way.

A Roman soldier didn't "drive" because cars were not invented until 1889, so none existed two thousand years ago. Roman soldiers walked, in fact, most people did unless they rode a horse, had a cart, or were on a boat/ship. (Since there were an insufficient number of horses on the road to cause an issue, the rules of "driving on the right/left" were not invented during that period.)
Roman military highways are the same as the main Roman roads. Remember that the reason the Romans built their roads in the first place was for the military, plus the military men were the ones who constructed the roads.
