Motorways help people travel quickly and cover long distances but they also cause problems. What are the problems of motorways and what solutions are there? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Nowadays, governments are building various types of motorways, especially in urban areas.

Which leads to a reduction in the soil fertility, changing its physicochemical properties, which makes it more difficult for vegetation to grow and recover.

According

to a study conducted by the NCHRP; higher speed limits were associated with increased rates of deaths and incapacitating injuries. It found that increasing a speed limit from 55 to 65 mph of high speed road resulted in about a 3%
