Abstract

A comprehensive history of roads in Australia is given in my ARRB report on the subject (Lay 1984), and in the set of 14 invited review papers presented at the 14th ARRB Conference this August and September. In this paper, I intend to draw heavily on the material in my paper at the ARRB Conference (Lay 1988), and to talk about the technological and intellectual inheritance which we have received in our road system. The first three sections will be taken from the early years of our history, and the latter three from more recent times. I will then use this material to draw some conclusions of relevance to the present day.
