Abstract
India’s transport network is one of the most extensive in the world. Road network is vital for sustained and inclusive growth of the economy and consolidation of social diversification of the nation. When compared to other transport means, road transport is considered to be more flexible and consumer-friendly as it provides door-to-door service to the people even in the remotest parts of the country. With the increasing population, there is immense load on natural as well as man-made resources. With growing development, people are more and more dependent on the transport system for fulfilling their needs and expansions. Thus, these road activities greatly affect environment qualities. The present review discusses the impacts of road activities on soil, water, and air quality and noise nuisance.
