The longest road in India
The longest road in India was built by an emperor Sher Shah Suri. He laid the road between Dacca and Indus running through Agra and Delhi! He built four such long roads.
By the Mughal period there was such hectic traffic on the roads, that a watchman was appointed and each road was guarded for the safety of travellers. With the coming of the British, all these systems disappeared. The history of roads became less personalized and caring. They continued to serve the purpose but without acting as a means by itself.
