Shows how since Neolithic times, road-makers have tried to meet the needs and demands of travellers. This work examines such topics as the structure and gradient of roads and the provision of bridges and drainage, showing how each influences the quality of travel.
For most of his professional life Hugh Davies worked at the Transport Research Laboratory at Crowthorne. In retirement Hugh Davies received PhD from the University of Reading for his study of Roman roads in Britain, which became a very successful book, Roads in Roman Britain (Tempus 2002).
