Study of Road Transportation and Their Status at Sundar Bazar Municipality in Nepal

Mohan Dhoja K.C.

Abstract


Transport facilities help in developing access with the rural-urban connections. Road openness can reduce isolation, stimulate crop production and marketing activities, encourage public services and help to transfer technology. Road building has been seen to bring about notable enthusiasm and visible changes in rural life. Road structure is considered as “the frame for infrastructure”. However, in the absence of notable criteria and rational guidelines, road construction is carried out in adverse manner resulting in haphazard use and wastage of limited resources. Municipal transport plan is prepared for assessing and scheduling the present road and transport substructures and facilities within the municipality.
