In 1920, the United States had approximately 2.3 million miles of paved roads. This marked a significant increase in road infrastructure compared to previous decades, reflecting the growing importance of automobiles and the automobile industry. The expansion of paved roads facilitated transportation and contributed to the rise of suburban development in the following years.
The Romans network of roads throughout their empire totalled the 400,000 kilometres (250,000 miles). The famous stone-paved roads constituted 20% (80,500km, 50,313 miles) of the network. Besides the via munita (stone-paved road) there was the via glareata which was an earthed road with a gravelled surface and the via terrena which was a rural road of levelled earth.
Animals could pull wagons of goods farther and faster.

It is most extremely unlikely that a tribe (which by definition is not a big social group) would build thousands of miles of roads. It takes an empire to build thousands of miles of roads. This empire was the vast Roman Empire, which was the second largest empire antiquity saw and was and the 17th largest in history. The Romans built 400,000 kilometres (250,000 miles) or roads throughout the Roman Empire. Of these, 20% (80,500 kilometres, 50,313 miles) were the famous stone-paved roads. Of course, most of these roads did not go to Rome, the capital of the empire. Not surprisingly, the roads which went directly to Rome were in Italy. There were nineteen of them. Many of these had only a regional reach.
The Romans built around 250,000 miles of roads in total.
