Here is your answer:

============================================================

1. Roads are important for transport of goods and passengers for short and medium distances.

2. They are relatively cheap and easy both in construction and maintenance.

3. Roads are built even in mountainous terrain. They connect fields with markets, factories with farms and provide door to door service.

4. For transport of perishable commodities, roads provide better services than the railways.

5. Railways are convenient for long distance travelling, while roads are more useful for short distances both for passengers and goods. Road transport is economical in transportation of few persons and relatively smaller amount of goods over short distances

6. Roads can be constructed easily in hilly terrains and undulating topography.

7. Roadways act as a feeder to other modes of transport, as they provide a link between railway stations, air and sea ports.
