Abstract

Road transport is important the achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (UN, 2017&2020) of UN’s 2030 Agenda. Road Transport is a critical infrastructure for the economic development of a country (GoI MRT&H, 2021). The transportation network is critical to facilitating the movement of resources, people and goods to accelerate economic development and social prosperity. Road Transport Network provided door-to-door service. Road safety can be achieved by improving the road network and the quality of roads. The International Road Federation (IRF) encourages and promotes better, safer and more sustainable development and maintenance (UN, 2017). The road is an important indicator in the development of any nation and it is the average and important factor in the transportation network system. Road density means the length of the road network in a unit area. The development of a region depends on the development of its road network system. Often assessment of structural properties and density of road networks is essential for future modification and development. This paper examines the density of the road network geographically in terms of area and population in the Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra State.
