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.

What were the roads like in ancient rome?

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.)


What are Roman military highways?

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.
