← HistoryWhich consequence resulted from the Roman road's camber?
A)Decreased structural integrity over time
B)Enhanced water drainage laterally✓
C)Increased susceptibility to dust accumulation
D)Impeded transport due to surface friction
💡 Explanation
Increased maintenance resulted from rainwater buildup on roadways, Roman roads used camber to enhance drainage via gravity. Increased Hydrostatic pressure against the road diminished, therefore structural integrity was improved, rather than diminished, preventing premature failure from saturation.
