What is the purpose of streets and roads?
The purpose of streets and roads are to provide faster ways for citizens to get around in their vehicles
How have roads developed?
Roads have evolved significantly from ancient paths and trails used by pedestrians and animals to modern, engineered highways. The introduction of materials like cobblestones and asphalt improved durability and ease of travel. With the advent of the automobile in the 20th century, road design focused on accommodating higher speeds and traffic volume, leading to the development of multilane highways and complex interchanges. Today, roads incorporate advanced technologies for safety and efficiency, such as smart traffic management systems and sustainable materials.
What were three reasons did roman engineers build a network of roads?
Three of the reasons were for more rapid troop movement, to connect the provinces, and to ease travel and trade.
How did roads help ancient Rome?
The Roman roads were built for two reasons. The main reason was to move troops faster. The secondary reason was for civilian travel and trade. The roads made a link to all parts of the empire, by connecting the far away provinces with the capitol.
What types of roads did they have during industrial revolution?
During the industrial revolution, the types of roads that existed were primarily dirt roads or cobblestone roads. Due to the increasing need for transportation for goods and people, there was a gradual improvement in road infrastructure, with some roads being widened and reinforced with gravel or stone, and others being paved with bricks or macadam. However, the quality and maintenance of roads varied greatly between different regions.

Why are most roads not straight?
because of the mountain or landform its built under most roads were built over mountains or hills sometimes the builders of the road couldn't blow up the solid rock so the just made it over it

Why did the Romans have curves in their roads?
Because it was the quickest way from point A to point B.because sharp corners meant nobody could see around the corner in the war

What is banking curves?
Banked curves are the sloped turn ways usually on high speed roads (i.e. highways, race car tracks). This is to increase the centrifugal force(gravity) on the car so it does not skid off the road.

Why are roads super elevated around horizontal curves and what factors control the maximum and minimum values of super elevation to be applied?
[object Object]
What do you mean by banking of roads?
Curves are designed with a bank in them. In other words the curves are not flat. They have a certain degree of angle designed into the road. 2-5 degrees is not uncommon. This allows you to traverse that curve at a higher rate of speed than if it were flat.
