Road Street Planning Need Breakthrough.

In planning and the development of town planning, highway means as one of the backbones of the transport were the part was not separated.

Was like this the importance of this element often the officials of the government were trapped in the development of road means, both took the form of the widening of the road, the development of the fly over road or the tunnel, and the production of the new road (by pass), but not all that matched him by the element of the layout arrangement.

The highway in Indonesia, both in the city and intercity, generally still followed the pattern of the classic development since the Dutch colonization time, that is following the pattern of the fishbone (fish bone) where the road- the small road that flowed into the highway formed like the fish thorn.

The pattern of being like this made the highway the centre of the concentration of the vehicle traffic.

The highway also still functioning as the growth prop of economics around this road with still was enabled by him the community built the house remained and the commercial building on the side left-right the road.

The existence of the highway always pushed the community bought the land all along this road and opened small businesses until big.

There were those who established the restaurant, the supermarket, until the mall.

So that afterwards caused the obstacle to the traffic or even the impasse.

To anticipate the condition was like this, the policy that was taken by the official of the local government also almost always classically, that is spreading the road, building crossing bridge, and turning on the organizer’s light of the traffic.

In fact, although all the efforts have been carried out at a cost of not a little, the traffic jam continue to happen because of the development of highway means was increasingly incomparable by the number of motor vehicles.

The study that was carried out at the end of the 1990 said the level of the growth of the highway of 3 percent, now the level of the growth of motor vehicles more than 10 percent per the year.

The CONSTRUCTION Road in the RAINFOREST

The construction of the road and the highway in the rainforest opened many territories for the development.

In Brazil, the highway of Trans-Amazonian produced destruction of the forest in many territories by the poor colonies, the forest logger, and land speculators.

In Africa, the roads of the forest logger gave access for the dark hunters who pursued rare animals as their food or were sold his meat to the inhabitants of the city.

Road Construction

A road is an identifiable route, way or path between two or more places.[1] Roads are typically smoothed, paved, or otherwise prepared to allow easy travel;[2] though they need not be, and historically many roads were simply recognizable routes without any formal construction or maintenance[3]. In urban areas roads may pass through a city or village and be named as streets, serving a dual function as urban space easement and route.[4] Economics and society depend heavily on efficient roads. In the European Union (EU) 44 % of all goods are moved by trucks over roads and 85 % of all persons are transported by cars, buses or coaches on roads.
