Road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the context of sea transport, a road is an anchorage. Roads (except those on private property not accessible to the general public) are typically paid for by taxes (often raised through levies on fuel), though some public roads, especially highways are funded by tolls. Engineered roads in the age of horse drawn transport aimed for a maximum gradient of 1 in 30 on a macadamized surface since this was the steepest a horse could exert to pull a load up hill which it could manage easily on the flat. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Road   (1778 words)

Road transport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Toll roads peaked in the mid 19th century, and by the turn of the twentieth century most toll roads were taken over by state highway departments. Road trains are unwieldy, and pulling and manoeuvering them safely is only possible because of the lack of traffic on Australia's outback roads, and the terrain's flatness. The Roman roads used deep roadbeds of crushed stone as an underlying layer to ensure that they kept dry, as the water would flow out from the crushed stone, instead of becoming mud in clay soils. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Road_transport   (1471 words)

hackwriters.com - The Road Movie - An Introduction by Sam North - Part One The road became a signifier for freedom and the romance of the 'road' became a way of life that would be celebrated in literature and film for the entire twentieth century. The road movie reflects a cultural psychosis that not only is tomorrow another day, but the road is the passage to which a new beginning is possible, free from the bonds of the past. The road seems to offer an easy escape, set within a western landscape that is at once beautiful, but, as is the nature of the convention of a road movie, all manners of dangers may lurk. www.hackwriters.com /roadone.htm   (3165 words)

Contruction and Makeup of Roman Roads Chevallier also quotes Broise in the discussion of road surfaces, saying that there are places where the excavated road is found to be a series of layers of gravel as thick as a meter, the result of numerous resurfacings (87). In closing, it is most important to remember that the ancient Roman road consists of three layers: a bottom foundation layer, often of stone; a middle layer of somewhat softer material (such as sand or gravel); and a surface, or “metalling,” usually a gravel, sometimes paving stones. Also, the road surface is steeply sloped to each side from the center, in some places dropping as much as a foot on a road 15 feet wide--a considerable amount (Margary 21). www.unc.edu /courses/rometech/public/content/transport/Adam_Pawluk/Contruction_and_Makeup_of_.htm#   (3192 words)
