Turnpikes were developed in the 17th century, primarily in England, as a means to charge travelers for using certain roads, with tolls collected at gates. The concept of corduroy roads, constructed using logs laid perpendicular to the direction of travel, dates back to ancient times but became more widespread in the 19th century, particularly in marshy areas. While specific individuals are not credited with their invention, these road types evolved through collective advancements in civil engineering and road management.
