- Road transportation is suitable for smaller and more costly goods such as high-end smartphones, compact electronics, jewelry, luxury accessories, etc.
- Road transport efficiency depends on a well-maintained network of roads and highways.
- In road transport, distances are generally shorter, which promotes regional and national distribution over international trade.
- It has faster transit times and more instant transport, which makes it perfect for just-in-time delivery services.
- Road transportation is less affected by natural waterway constraints and more affected by road conditions, traffic congestion, and weather conditions.
- Many road accidents occur due to traffic density and other road dangers; however, modern safety rules reduce these risks.
- Road transport is more expensive for long-distance transport due to higher fuel costs and tolls, but it is cheap and convenient for shorter routes.
