What is a road?

The students of the driving school before proceedingpractical part of the lessons, should master the theoretical basis, that is, learn the rules of the road (SDA), pass the exam by theory. To pass it, you need to be fluent in the notion of traffic rules, one of which we will analyze today. So, what is a road, how to understand a cumbersome definition?

Road and its components

"A road is a strip of land or a surface of an artificial structure arranged or adapted and used for the movement of vehicles."

To make it easier to remember these complex word combinations,Let's analyze the sentence and get into the meaning of what was written. A landscaped, and somewhere adapted strip of land, means a piece of land that is built and equipped for the movement of pedestrians and vehicles along it. As for bridges, as well as overpasses, overpasses, they are also expensive, but artificially created, which is what is meant by the words "surface of an artificial structure". Let's look at the components of the road.

Elements of the road are:

• The carriageway. It is used by trackless vehicles.
• Sidewalk. Used by pedestrians.
• Tram rails. This is part of the road, but it does not apply to the roadway.
• Curbs. The attached plot of land directly to the roadway is used for parking, stopping or moving the vehicle, depending on the signs installed on the site. The roads have their own cover or are separated from the roadway by a dividing strip.
• Separation strips. They differentiate adjacent carriageways with markings or structures (for example, lawns).

Note that it is not necessary to have all the elements at the same time. The road may not have dividing strips or tramways, for example.
