The word road is a term that we use frequently in our language to designate the paved public road that is specially destined for vehicles to pass through.
The main difference that a road presents with respect to a road is that it is generally wide, allowing the circulation of significant vehicular flow and is specially prepared for the circulation of vehicles, that is, it has signs that indicate maximum and minimum speeds, crossings of other roads, exits, lane delimitations based on the allowed speed, among the most important issues.
For the construction of a road it is necessary to have a continuous path. In many cases, the extension of a road may require the removal of certain constructions that are in its path or, failing that, of vegetation. In the case of house-type constructions, what is usually done is to compensate the owners of the house with another so that they abandon it and thus be able to proceed with the construction.
Meanwhile, to carry out such work it will be essential to have specialized machinery for the movement of earth that will take care of loosening, removing, lifting and even loading it, among them the excavator shovel, the bulldozer, the front loader stand out. , motor grader, tipper, compactor, tunnel boring machine and dredge.
It should be noted that the roads require constant maintenance since the traffic of vehicles, especially heavy vehicles, involves heavy wear and tear that ends up generating holes and potholes that only complicate the passage and of course can lead to serious problems. road accidents. Likewise, climatic factors affect the condition of the roads.
It is also worth mentioning that these are spaces of public circulation that in no way can anyone obstruct, therefore, if this happens, a sanction in this regard may be worth to whoever does it. In recent years, in various parts of the world, roadblocks have become fashionable as a method of protest against some social injustice.
