Why there is a great variations in ‘road density’ in India? Explain any three reasons with examples.
The reasons:
(i) Nature of terrain and the level of economic development are the main determinants of density of roads.
(ii) Construction of roads is easy and cheaper in the plain areas while it is difficult and costly in hilly and plateau areas.
(iii) Therefore, not only the density but also the quality of roads is relatively better in plains as compared to roads in high altitude areas, rainy and forested regions. The density of road is high in most of the northern states and major southern states. It is low in the Himalayan region, northeastern region, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.
