This title was first published in 2003. The history of roads in
Great Britain has not been one of steady development, but rather,
one that has waxed and waned in response to social, military and
economic needs, and also as to whether there have been alternative
methods of transport available. Paralleling this, the technical
aspects of road construction - with the one great exception of
Roman roads - can be seen as a fitful progression of improvement
followed by neglect as the roadmaker has responded, albeit tardily
on occasion, to the needs of the road user. This text describes the
technical development of British roads in relation to the needs of
the time, and thereby touches upon its relation to the history of
the country more generally.
