	Road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the context of sea transport, a road is an anchorage.
		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.
		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.

	Road transport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Road transport (British English) or road transportation (American English) is transport on roads, i.e.
		The Roman roads used deep roadbeds of crushed stone as a 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.
		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 transport takes a smaller share of the modal split in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe: 41.5 per cent in 1995, but there also it is progressing, whereas rail transport is in decline.
		Road transport is essentially short-haul (for example, in the European Community 66 per cent of loads - measured in tonnes - are delivered within a radius of less than 50 kilometres), and thus most traffic, particularly in large countries, is confined within the boundaries of the State.
		For passenger transportation it seems relevant, as the economic structure, the involvement of the public authority, the subsidy regime, the licence regime, and the regulatory regime are completely different for a taxi and for a long-distance bus, for instance.

	KiwiCareers - Road Transport
		The demand for road transport services is being compounded by New Zealand's buoyant economy; there is a strong demand for our primary exports, such as beef, which need to be shipped to a port for export.
		The demand for road transport services is likely to continue increasing over the next two to three years, as there will be a large increase in the volume of forests being harvested between 2008 and 2015.
		People working in the road transport industry have to deal with increasingly demanding customers, and must be computer literate to operate mobile technology that allows customers to track their shipments through the delivery cycle.

		All users of the road transport system should also benefit from harmonised conditions, be they private users, customers or commercial hauliers.
		In September 2001 the Commission adopted a White Paper on the European Transport Policy which describes what has been achieved so far both at the Union and the Member State levels and what should be done in the near future.
		the road safety issue is still a major concern with some 40 000 fatalities a year (half the figure of 1970) and more than 1.7 million injured.

	Road Transport History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Roman roads fell into disuse and wheeled vehicles more or less disappeared throughout Europe until they began tomake a slow comeback nearly a thousand years later during the Middle Ages.Movement of goods and people was then largely on foot or by pack animaland tracks were sufficient.
		The spread of private toll roads in the UK and the construction of the state-managed network in France, together with an expanding postal service went hand-in-hand with a rapid growth in road transport during the eighteenth century.
		They effectively suppressed motorised road transport for sixty years through legislation imposing a speed limit of 5km and cleverly made it self-policing by requiring that a vehicle be preceded by a man on foot with a red flag.

	Roads & Highways: Road Transport
		The accuracy of national road transport statistics is generally poor and so assessing performance requires surveys to be carried out.
		In the case of countries wishing to develop improved trade and transport links with other countries in their region, involving new international agreements and protocols, there will usually be a need to develop effective international road transport and customs agreements and to incorporate these agreements into national law.
		See International Transport for a description of how international road transport agreements are being introduced in a phased way in the SADC region and how border delays can be reduced through introducing the TIR system.
