Which consequence results when a Roman road's camber erodes unevenly?

💡 Explanation

Uneven camber erosion causes water accumulation because the surface no longer effectively uses surface tension and gravity for runoff. Therefore, pooling occurs, rather than directed drainage, which accelerates material degradation and weakens the road.
