Roads In Analamanga
A road is a linear way for the conveyance of traffic that mostly has an improved surface for use by vehicles (motorized and non-motorized) and pedestrians. Unlike streets, the main function of roads is transportation. There are many types of roads, including parkways, avenues, controlled-access highways (freeways, motorways, and expressways), tollways, interstates, highways, thoroughfares, and local roads. The primary features of roads include lanes, sidewalks (pavement), roadways (carriageways), medians, shoulders, verges, bike paths (cycle paths), and shared-use paths. Definitions Historically many roads were simply recognizable routes without any formal construction or some maintenance. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) defines a road as "a line of communication (travelled way) using a stabilized base other than rails or air strips open to public traffic, primarily for the use of road motor vehicles running on their own wheels", wh ...

Roads In Madagascar
Madagascar's network of about 4500 roads spans approximately and is focused on facilitating transportation to and from Antananarivo. Transportation on these roads, most of which are unpaved and two lanes wide, is often dangerous. Long-distance travel is often accomplished in ('bush taxis'), which may be shared by 20 or more people. While most primary roads are in good condition, the World Food Program has classified two-thirds of the roads as poor condition. These conditions may make it dangerous to drive at moderate-to-high speeds and (bandit) attacks pose a threat at low speeds. Many roads are impassable during Madagascar's wet season; some bridges (often narrow, one-lane structures) are vulnerable to being swept away. Few rural Malagasy live near to a road in good condition; poor road connectivity may pose challenges in health care, agriculture, and education. Drivers in Madagascar travel on the right side of the road. On some roads, the government of Madagascar requir ...
