Distribution of roads is not uniform in the country due to following reasons:
(i) Density of all roads varies from only 10 kms in Jammu and Kashmir to 552 kms in UP with national average of 125 km.
(ii) Keeping in view the volume of traffic and passengers, the road network is inadequate.
(iii) About half of the roads are unmetalled and this limits their usage during the rainy season.
(iv) The roadways are highly congested in cities and most of the bridges and culverts are old and narrow.
