The clearing of Forrest and expiation of roads can lead to deforestation.
It has not happened that way for the last 1 000 years or so. More roads means more traffic leads to calls for more roads etc.
because of deforestation and new roads
building new raods, cattle ranching etc. Urban sprwl
By sea wherever possible, and by building roads in the interior.
There were Turnpike trusts which looked after sections of road and new ways of building roads where invented! This happened during the Transport Revolution!
Building new roads can enhance community connectivity, improving access to resources, services, and employment opportunities. However, it may also lead to increased traffic congestion and environmental concerns, such as habitat disruption. Additionally, new roads can stimulate economic development but might also result in higher property values and potential displacement of existing residents. Balancing these impacts is crucial for fostering sustainable community growth.
Building new roads can lead to increased impervious surfaces, which can prevent rainfall from soaking into the ground. This reduces the amount of water reaching the aquifer, potentially lowering groundwater levels and impacting the recharge zone. Additionally, road construction can introduce contaminants such as oil, gasoline, and road salt, which can infiltrate the groundwater and affect its quality.
The Romans did improve existing roads, but their approach often involved building new ones to better connect their expanding empire and enhance military logistics. Existing roads were sometimes inadequate for the heavy traffic and engineering standards the Romans required. Additionally, constructing new roads allowed for more direct routes, facilitating faster movement of troops, trade, and communication across vast distances. Ultimately, their extensive road-building initiative was a strategic investment in infrastructure that supported their imperial ambitions.
Stop deforestation, stop taking up wild land for building new cities, and work towards the efforts to ban poaching of chinchillas for their fur.
