Abstract

This paper reviews the place and growing importance of roads in the life and development of the community, and indicates how planning and engineering control of road facilities are being equipped with means of quantitative measurement based on research work and statistical analysis.

1. - Purposes of Roads;
2. - Growth and Change of Road Usage;
3. - State Administration of Roads;
4. - Types of Construction;
5. - Legal Limits;
6. - Layout and Planning Problems;
7. - Conclusions, Acknowledgments, References.
