Historically, roads generally came before canals. The construction of roads dates back to ancient civilizations, such as the Romans, who built extensive road networks for trade and military purposes. Canals, while also ancient, became more prominent later, particularly during the Industrial Revolution, when they were developed to facilitate the transport of goods over longer distances and support growing economies. Thus, while both are vital for transportation, roads were established earlier in human history.
