A causeway is a paved path.
Causeway is a term whose etymological origin is found in the Latin word calciāta , which can be translated as “paved road.” That Latin word in turn derived from calx , which was what the limestone that was used to shape those roads was called.
The sector of the street that is between two sidewalks (also known as sidewalks ) is called a roadway, in this framework.
It could be said, therefore, that the road is where vehicles travel, unlike the sidewalks or sidewalks that allow pedestrian circulation. For example: “We have to teach the dog not to get on the road,” “The government announced that the avenue will have a reduced road surface for about a month due to maintenance work,” “The car left the road and went up onto the sidewalk.” , where he attacked four people.”
Your story
To speak of a road is to make obligatory reference to the so-called Roman roads , which are considered authentic works of engineering. They were used by Rome to structure its entire Empire and became key pieces not only to promote the transportation of goods and trade but also to make it easier for troops to reach other corners and conquer them.
Of course, it should not be overlooked that they played a fundamental role in expanding culture and expediting travel from Italy to any other corner that was under Roman command.
The carriageway is the section of a street or highway where vehicles circulate.
Types of road
It is interesting to establish that three different types of roads were created: the publicae , which were the first to be shaped and which came to link the main cities together; the privatae , which were private because they could only be used by the owners of the properties on which they were; and the viae vicinales , which linked several towns in the same region.
Along these roads you could find such important elements as bridges, fords, milestones and shelters, for example.
Among the most important documents that have been preserved where the Roman roads were recorded, two stand out: one is “La Tabula Peutingeriana” and the other is “The Antonine Itinerary” .
A route or highway
The part of a road or route that allows vehicular progress is also called a road: “The authorities should build a road with at least two roads to connect these cities” , “The road on this route is full of potholes”, “The “Repaving the road will take about six months.”
The roadways have a variable number of lanes. Streets generally have a single lane, while avenues usually have two lanes that allow travel in opposite directions. Highways and highways, for their part, may have more than two lanes in each direction.
The division of the road into lanes can be developed with paint markings on the pavement. When it comes to lanes in opposite directions, it is common for plants or medians to be used as separation.
