Development of transportation



Transportation has been developed in many aspects because people have been developing this key area  for a long time . They have discovered many ways to make transportation more easy like engineering and construction of bridges and aqueducts, terminal and other different facilities. The most basic form of a paved or tarmacked road that was straight make transportation easier and that is why transportation is important for the development of countries’ infrastructures. It is used for several purposes like economic and military uses, trade and the movement of troops, and the Romans contribution to this field has been key.

One of the important development that coincided with transportation was to make the vehicles easier to operate on the  infrastructure . There has to be enough room to build a good system of roads to connect place too place, with signage and  parking and many other major route markers.(Wikipedia, Cooper et al., 1998: 275–76). In addition, safety is being improved through the  development of transportation by making traffic rules that drivers in various categories of  vehicles have to follow. This code involves using a side walk ,especially for people to walk on beside the road. The basic traffic rules are defined by an international treaty under the authority of the United Nations. (Wikipedia, the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic). Traffic signals have been more refined and developed to help people know more about the way to get to places and these were researched to know the best size, colour, spacing and font.
