Roads and Highways in China



In the past, the transportation of China was not so comfortable. Until 1990 the Chinese government invested in highway system that had the main highway was the National Trunk Highway System. The National Trunk Highway System consisted of building expressways to link all the major cities with each other. This system was very significant element of the transportation network in China. It was a new system of highway called the“7918 Highway Network” that designed by connecting all capital cities and large urban centers together. Chinese government thought the 7918 Highway Network would help the people from an urban can access an expressway within half an hour.



In my opinion, it was difficult to people who lived in rural areas for coming or transported something to basic roads in China. The geography of their country posed an obstacle for them. However, I thought the Chinese government should focus on this issue and try to solve it immediately.
