1. Construction cost of roads is much lower than railway lines.
2. Roads can be constructed easily in hilly terrains and undulating topography.
3. Roadways act as a feeder to other modes of transport, as they provide a link between railway stations, air and sea ports.
4. Road transport is economical in transportation of few persons and relatively smaller amount of goods over short distances.
5. It also provides door-to-door service, thus the cost of loading and unloading is much lower.
