Importance of Road Maintenance

Roads are important in modern living, they enable us to access commercial, health, educational, and social support services. Therefore consistent reliable and sustainable road maintenance is of essence. Some of the reasons why road maintenance should be a priority  include:

Safety:               A  well-maintained road network improves the safety of all road users in communities, and also aids                                in reducing accidents.

Accessibility:  Well-maintained roads are highly accessible and this improves service delivery.

Cost:                   Reduces traveling costs and increases transport availability.

The local authority has a mandate to maintain roads, however, this does not deter each given community from taking up the responsibility to maintain their roads. through engaging private companies to fix their roads. It is undisputed that good roads benefit everyone, so everyone can play a part in sustainable road maintenance.
