Roadways have an edge over railways in the following ways:
1.Roads require less investment as compared to railway, and maintenance cost is also low.
2.Roads provide door to door personal service, while railways cannot.
3.Roads can be built at higher altitudes, forested areas, and deserts.
4.Road transportation is flexible.Moreover, it is available for 24 hours.
5.The road system facilitates the transportation of perishable goods, thereby stimulating their production. For example, transportation of sugarcane to sugar mills has to be done immediately, which can be done through roadways.
