India has one of the largest road network in the world aggregating to about 2.3 million km at present.
1)Construction cost of roads is much lower than that of railways.
2)Roads can transverse comparatively more dissecting and undulating topography.
3)Roads can negotiate higher gradients of slope and as such can transverse mountains such as the Himalayas.
4)Road transportation is economical in transportation if few persons and relatively smaller amount of goods over short distances.
5)It also provides door to door services, thus the cost of loading and unloading is much lower .
6)Road transport is also used as a feeder to other modes of transport.

The length of road per 100 sq km of area is known as density of roads.
Advantages of roadways over railways are
(i) Construction cost of roads is much lower than railway lines.
(ii) Roads can be constructed easily in hilly terrains and undulating topography.
(iii) Roadways act as a feeder to other modes of transport, as they provide a link between railway stations, air and sea ports.
(iv) Road transport is economical in transportation of few persons and relatively smaller amount of goods over short distances.
Thus, it can be concluded that roadways still have an edge over railways in India.
