1. Accessibility: Roadways provide door-to-door connectivity, reaching even the most remote areas (though the quality of roads may vary). This is a major advantage over other modes of transport like railways or airways which are limited by their fixed routes.
2. Flexibility: Road transport is highly flexible. Routes can be easily changed, and vehicles can be adapted to suit different types of goods and passengers. This makes it adaptable to varying demands and urgent situations.
3. Cost-effectiveness (for shorter distances): For relatively shorter distances, road transport is often the most cost-effective mode of transport, especially for smaller consignments. The initial investment in infrastructure is generally lower compared to railways or airways.
