Solution
Road transportation depends heavily on the natural topography.
- Mountainous regions: In mountainous regions, irregular terrain makes road construction difficult, as cutting through the mountains is both costly and dangerous. Also, frequent landslides make the roads unfit for use.
- Desert regions: Laying down roads is not easy, as sand does not provide a stable base for road construction.
- Flood prone regions: In flood prone regions, roads are frequently flooded and remain unfit for use.
