Road transport

Road transport or road transportation is a type of transport using roads. Transport on roads can be roughly grouped into the transportation of goods and transportation of people. In many countries licensing requirements and safety regulations ensure a separation of the two industries.

Movement along roads may be by bike, automobile, bus, truck, or by animal such as horse or oxen.
Standard networks of roads were adopted by Romans, Persians, Aztec, and other early empires, and may be regarded as a feature of empires.
Cargo may be transported by trucking companies, while passengers may be transported via mass transit.
