    'The distribution of roads in India is not uniform'. Examine the statement giving three reasons.

    Answer:

    Distribution of road is not uniform in India due to different types of geographical features. Moreover, the volume of traffic as well as passengers also affects road networking in India. Roads become narrow and congested with broken culverts and bridges. Some roads are metalled that are well built with brick and cement whereas some are undetailed especially in rural areas which become inaccessible during rainy seasons .The regions with rugged terrain have steep roads with lots of hair pin bends. For ununiformed distribution, there are certain reasons:
    (i) Construction of roads is costlier in mountain, valleys and plateau region than plain region.
    (ii) Diversity in geographical features is also one of the biggest reasons for this.
    (iii) The ratio of rivers, canals and other such geographical forms are higher in India. It works as a barrier in constructing roads.
