Roads and highways are strips of land. These provide routes for travel by automobiles and other vehicles.
Roads work as arteries of the economic, social and cultural health of a country by transporting men and materials both during peace and war. Road transport enjoys certain benefits as against rail transport. These are :
(i)The road transport is cheaper than railway transport.
(ii) The road transport is suitable because it carries goods to other destinations without much re-handling any through the quickest route. It can provide door- to-door service. The goods may be loaded directly from factory or a warehouse and unloaded at the desired place.
(iii) Road transport is beneficial for carrying light as well as perishable goods like vegetables, fish, meat, dairy products and flowers. It is far less expensive over short distances.
(iv) Road transport is more flexible than railways. A motor vehicle can be hired at any time. It can go to the interior of the country. Road transport has no fixed route or time.
(v)The expenses for maintenance of railway stations and equipment are quite high. These are not done for in case of road transport.
(vi) The maintenance charges of roads are less as compared to those of railways.

Answer:
The most commonly used means of transport especially for short distances are roads. They can be metalled (pucca) and unmetalled (kutcha). The plains have a dense network of roads. Roads have also been built in terrains like deserts, forests and even high mountains. Manali-Leh highway in the Himlayan Mountains is one of the highest roadways in the world. Roads built underground are called subways/under paths. Flyovers are built over raised structures.
