Question

Why is the density of roads higher in North India than in South India?

Answer 1

This is because of high concentration of industries and urbanisation in these areas. Building material is locally available. High density of 50-100 km is also found in Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh of the northern plain. This is due to advanced agriculture, industry and urbanisation in these areas. Building material is obtained from the Himalayan region. Large parts of the Deccan plateau have moderate density of roads.
