national road authorities

National road authorities are government agencies responsible for overseeing, managing, and maintaining a country’s highway and road network. They ensure roads are safe, functional, and well-maintained, often coordinating road construction, repairs, and improvements. These agencies set standards for road design, traffic safety, and signage, and may also handle national transportation planning and policy. Their goal is to facilitate efficient, safe movement of vehicles and pedestrians across the country, supporting economic activity and public safety. In essence, they are the organizations that ensure the country's roads serve the needs of society effectively.
