Other Names:
Functional obsolescence of roads Nature:
Over the years, road networks, design, width and surface, have been developed for different types of vehicles. Some older roads have been upgraded to suit faster and heavier motor vehicles. In other cases this is not possible or appropriate. Modern highways may suit drivers of modern motor vehicles, but they are frequently criticized and increasingly resisted in residential areas.
