Several years ago, there were no roads. Only foothpaths linked villages to the few towns that existed that time. There now exist good inter state highway and dual carriage ways linking major towns and cities. 

There are several means of road transportation which include lorries, cars, trikes buses etc.

In this article, I will be showing you disadvantages of road transportation:

1. Cost of production maybe high if a company has to depend on haulage companies to move its goods.

2. Accident could lead to loss of lives and goods.

3. Cost of vehicle maintenance could be very high especially when goods are transported over short distance.
