Roads Around The World

Historical road construction
That the first pathways were the trails made by animals has not been universally accepted, arguing that animals do not follow constant paths. Others believe that some roads originated from following animal trails. The Icknield Way is given as an example of this type of road origination, where man and animal both selected the same natural line. By about 10,000 BC, rough pathways were used by human travelers.
- Stone-paved streets are found in the city of Ur in the Middle East dating back to 4000 BC.
- Corduroy roads (log roads) are found dating to 4000 BC in Glastonbury, England.
