The common misconception is that the construction of roads in England
should have been easy.1 However, bog, hills and rivers2 made it difficult to
build roads in Britain. The earliest road was3 probably of the nature of
tracks for trading purposes. The Britons4 made chariots and weapons out
of lead, tin, and iron, and connected their hill towns with ports via tracks
and roads.5 The Romans6 built a complete system of permanent roads7 to
connect their military posts and trading towns.8 Along these roads9 they
constructed camps to protect industrial centers and roads leading to
them. The Roman roads were so well built that some of them have been in
use for up to 2000 years.10 The knowledge of constructing roads as well as
the idea that they should be the States responsibility disappeared with
the Romans.11 Since then the State has left the burden of constructing and
maintaining roads to individuals, private enterprise or to local
authorities.12
