road network

A road network is the interconnected system of roads and streets that facilitates transportation within an area, allowing vehicles, pedestrians, and other forms of transit to move efficiently from one location to another. It includes various types of roads, such as highways, city streets, and local roads, designed to connect neighborhoods, commercial areas, and destinations. The network's layout determines traffic flow, accessibility, and travel times, and it is often optimized to balance safety, capacity, and efficiency. Properly planned road networks are essential for economic activity, emergency response, and daily commuting.
