Question

Explain any five major problems faced by road transport in India.

Solution
Verified by Toppr

  • Most of the Indian roads are unsurfaced and are not suitable for use of vehicular traffic.
  • Roads are not properly maintained. Poor road surfaces cause heavy loss in wear and tear of vehicles.
  • There are multiple check-posts, toll-tax and octroi duties collection points on the roads which bring down the speed of the traffic, waste time and cause irritation to the commuters.
  • Many roads have inadequate capacity, weak pavement, unbridged level crossings and lack of wayside amenities and safety measures.
  • The roadways are highly congested in cities and most of the bridges and culverts are old and narrow.
