Why is the road we walk called the road?

I won't tell you! ...... a long, long time ago

Because the construction of the road is related to a foreigner, it is called a road.

Before the Industrial Revolution, roads in Europe were generally dirt roads, and even among the major European cities of London, Paris, and Brussels, the best roads were paved with stones, and there were no roads built with sophisticated technology at that time. At the end of the 18th century, Britain was in the midst of the industrial revolution, and the development of industry required higher and higher requirements for transportation.

In this case, the Englishman John MacAdam devised a new method of road construction, paving the road with gravel, the middle of the road is high to facilitate drainage, and the road surface is flat and wide. Later, this kind of road took the surname of its designer and took the name "Makadan Road".

At the end of the 19th century, China's coastal ports such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Fuzhou were opened, and the European and American powers built concessions in China, bringing the Western method of building the Makadan Road to China. At that time, the Chinese used the transliteration of the English "macadam makadan" as the abbreviation of the road, and later commonly known as "Ma Lu".

Precautions for crossing the street

Cross the road at a zebra crossing or at a traffic light, and do not cross the road at will. Observe the traffic on the left and right before crossing the street and make sure it is safe to do so. If there are no zebra crossings or traffic lights, you should choose an intersection with less traffic and avoid crossing busy roads.

Consider the surrounding environment, especially pedestrians, bicycle riders, electric vehicles, cars, etc., as well as blind spots such as buildings, light boxes, and billboards to ensure safe passage. If crossing the street at night, you should wear reflective clothing or other reflective items to increase your visibility. For the elderly, children, people with disabilities, etc., who need special care and care, they should take the initiative to help them cross the road.

At the end of the 18th century, Britain was in the midst of the Industrial Revolution, when the roads in the urban and rural areas were mainly dirt roads, which could no longer meet the requirements of the times. Scotsman John Macadan designed gravel roads for easy drainage to facilitate the conditions for a burgeoning British industry. In commemoration, it was named after the name of the designer of the gravel road, known as "Makadan Road", which later became commonly known as "Road".

A road refers to a wide and smooth road or highway for people or vehicles to travel. Most roads are built by people for human use, and the main purpose is to facilitate human beings to engage in many productive activities.

The road was paved with gravel at the earliest, and the road surface was slightly higher, and it was smooth and flat, which was conducive to rainwater flowing to the roadside and did not affect traffic.

Later, people paved the road with asphalt and called it "asphalt road", but most people still used to call it "road".

In the Tang Dynasty, the road Huaiji was built for 50,000 miles, which was called the post road. The Qin Dynasty Chidao has a unified quality standard:

The width of the road is 50 steps, about 70 meters; The roadbed should be higher than the ground on both sides to facilitate drainage, and the road surface should be tamped with an iron hammer; Plant a green pine every three zhang to think that it is a street tree; In addition to the road ** three zhang for the emperor's exclusive use, both sides also opened up a pedestrian sidewalk; A kiosk is built every 10 miles to serve as a pedestrian hailing station and a postal junction for the security management office in the section.
