Road transport is the dominant mode of transportation
in India - both for moving goods and passengers. India
has a huge network of roads comprising of National Highways,
State Highways, Major District Roads and Village and other
roads.In fact, it is the third largest road network in
the world covering a total length of 33,00,000 kms. The
road network is assuming a pivotal role in the movement
of goods and passengers. There has been a substantial
shift in the mode of transportation from Railways towards
the road sector. While only 40% of the freight and 20%
of the passengers load are handled by the railways, 60%
of the goods and 80% of passengers movement takes place
through roads. It is anticipated that the function of
the road network will further increase in the foreseable
future.
Though the National Highways
constitute only 2% of the entire road network, they
carry about 40% of the freight and passengers .The National
Highways cover a length of 52000 kms. and pass through
every state of India. They are the vital lifelines of
the economy making possible trade and commerce.
