answered-by-expert Expert Answer
Six advantages of roadways over railways:
  • Construction cost of roads is much lower than that of railway lines,
  • Roads can be built in more dissected and undulating topography while it is not easy to lay railway lines in dissected regions.
  • Roads can negotiate higher gradients of slopes such as the Himalayas. For example, towns and villages in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand are well connected to each other by roads. There are only few railway lines in these states.
  • Road transport is economical in transportation of few persons and relatively smaller amount of goods over short distances,
  • It also provides door-to-door service, thus the cost of loading and unloading is much lower.  
  • Road transport is also used as a feeder to other modes of transport such as they provide a link between railway stations, air and sea ports.
Please ask the other question as a separate query.
