Unit 1 Road Patterns
There are various types of road patterns used in highways, when the road is constructed in a
pattern like rectangular pattern, radial pattern, hexagonal pattern, etc. for proper management of
traffic it is called a road pattern. Roadways are very essential in the development of the
settlements in a city. However, recent development does not give importance to the study of road
patterns giving rise to roads that are not interconnected.
The increasing distance between the residential and commercial center of the city increases the
dependency.
The roadway patterns also increase the response time, road drainage, the emergency response of
vehicles, and time to reach a certain place.
The radial and the circular pattern is the road pattern in which the main roads originate from a
central point and connected together by narrow roads that radiate outward.
