Asphalt. Macadam is another common name for the process. To Macadamize something is to pave it with asphalt.
Approximately 2% of the total surface area of Britain is covered by roads.
When two roads cross, they form an intersection.
Romans use the Groma to buils the roads. The roads that are made by Romans are straight. The Groma makes the roads straight
The distance a toy car will travel on different surfaces depends on various factors such as the surface texture, incline, and the type of wheels on the toy car. Generally, smoother surfaces like hardwood floors or tile will allow the toy car to travel further due to less friction compared to rough surfaces like carpet or gravel. Additionally, the weight and design of the toy car will also impact how far it can travel on different surfaces.
That depends on how fast you walk of course, but if we assume 3 miles per hour, which is pretty average, 2.5 miles should take about 50 minutes. A brisk walk at 4 mph would take about 35 minutes. This is relatively easy on roads. Over country paths 2-3 mph is more likely.
The tarry mixture used to make smooth surfaces on roads or paths is called asphalt or bitumen. It is a sticky, black, and highly viscous liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum.
they were built with smooth rocks on the to top. Then on the side there were paths for people when solider were marching down the road.
Intersect
Roads appear to shine when wet because of the reflection and refraction of light on the smooth surface of the water. This creates a glossy effect that makes the road appear shiny.
Tarmac is not a rock; it is a man-made material used for surfacing roads, driveways, and parking lots. It is a mixture of asphalt and aggregate materials that form a smooth and durable surface. Tarmac is not impermeable and can allow some water to pass through its surface.
Smooth tires are bad for driving on wet roads because they have less traction and grip on the slippery surface, increasing the risk of skidding and losing control of the vehicle. The lack of tread patterns on smooth tires also makes it harder for water to be dispersed, leading to a higher chance of hydroplaning.

The question is "WERE there roads in the Persian empire". The simple answer is no, the Persians only had dirt paths they travelled on but not "roads" by definition being a paved path. The Romans invented roads.
Rough asphalt roads typically have the most friction due to the texture of the surface, which provides better traction for vehicles. Smooth roads, such as concrete or tarmac, may have less friction and can be more slippery, especially when wet.
Inadequate shocks, and or suspension components that are usually on passenger cars that aren't designed to travel on any surface other than a smooth, paved surface.
People typically walk on surfaces like sidewalks, roads, grass, dirt paths, or floors indoors. The specific surface depends on the setting and environment in which they are walking.
