Abstract

Rural roads characteristically carry relatively low volumes of traffic. In the typical national gross domestic product (GDP) context, their role is often not viewed as being of major economic importance. Rural roads are viewed more in terms of an accessibility provider than a mobility provider in the larger context of a country's transport infrastructure.
