what are the advantages of roadways?

Dear Student,

Please find below the answer to your question 

There are numerous advantages of roadways in comparison to other modes of transport.
       

  1. Roadways require less capital investment in comparison to railways, even though railways have only one time investments when we consider the infrastructure of the stations and the routes.
  2. Roads help in providing the services directly to the consumer's place or from one warehouse or storage place to another, even in the remotest area.
  3. These roadways are quite flexible to the requirements of the individuals based on the routes and the timing without any kind of inconvenience. 
  4. For short distance and for area nearby roads are preferred mode to transfer or send the goods.
  5. There is a lesser chance of damage using roadways to transport things like loading and unloading in railways can be a huge risk and also the exchange happens a lot on long route journeys, which can be a big problem.
  6. Goods are sent quickly on road than in railways since they again have to shift the goods once they are unloaded at the station and also because they are built away from the residential areas.
  7. The cost of packaging in roadways is less as compared to railways.
  8. Big industries can have their own private services and can use roadways for quick service.
  9. Finally, no matter how many times railways are used to send the products and goods to the consumer after they reach the station they are sent to customers via roads.
