Roads and Their Impact on the Environmental and Social Aspects / S. Shantha Sheela, S. Kayar Kanni and J. Nirmala - 7 Vol. Issue 1-2 (159-167 p.)

Roads are used not only to relocate persons and goods-purely for transport or traffic purposes - but also have residential and access functions. While roads generally perform traffic functions outside urban areas, town and village roads play an important part in the residential function. Accordingly, the term "environment" is not limited to the natural surroundings to the same extent as in undeveloped areas. Rather, the aim is to ensure that traffic can be managed in a way which is compatible with the urban situation in other words, in a way that is also socially acceptable.
