Roads in Çakaristan

From MicrasWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Roads in Çakaristan are an important mode of transport in Çakaristan. The nation has various types of roads, which are built and maintained by different authorities and private contractors.

In 1720 AN, only 47.3% of roads were paved. By 1750 AN, this had risen to 70% following large-scale efforts to modernise and improve the roads. The political discussions on the roll-out of a national highway network were initially less successful. This was mainly due to the financial resources required for this. In 1750 AN, a compromise was reached whereby states and private parties could contribute to the construction and maintenance of highways. This led to a distinction between national highways, state roads and expressways. It has been stipulated that all these road types will be numbered uniformly and arrangements have been made for toll collection.

1: Not every expressway is a toll road.

As part of the contract, expressways constructed by private contractors may be maintained by those same contractors. Depending on the contract with the government, the contractor will receive compensation for this or a toll will be levied. The amount of the toll is limited by law. In general, there are exceptions, such as military and emergency vehicles being exempt from tolls.

Traffic sign at switch point for roadside

The driving side may vary from state to state. Switchover points have been set up for this purpose. For national highways, expressways and state roads, a crossover bridge have generally been implemented.

History

During its first ten years, the Empire experienced rapid expansion. As a result, it inherited various existing roads from different eras. The roads of the former Krasnocoria were mainly paved, but there was damage due to the Sylvanian National Awakening and overdue maintenance. The focus for restoration was mainly on the main roads and access for military reasons. However, only the railway connection between Sherrok and Liburnia has been restored. The highway from the Krasnocorian era has not yet been rebuilt.

An important corridor between Manbai and Agra was given priority; this corridor included a railway line and national highways 1 and 2. The further expansion of the Empire in Haritdesh, Poorajangal, Sikatadesh and Sunehra did not lead to large-scale construction of new highways. It was not until 1746 AN that, on the initiative of Haritdesh, a highway between Ambarganj and Maulikpur was constructed as a state road. The exemption of budgets for the construction of new highways met with considerable political resistance. Arguments were mainly based on the already high budget for roads in support of the states. This was mainly because only a small proportion of the roads in the areas mentioned were paved and still needed to be modernised. By 1750 AN, efforts to achieve this had resulted in 70% of the roads being paved.

Meanwhile, the Empire continued to expand, such as in the northern parts of former Krasnocoria. There, the existing roads were of better quality and suffered less damage during the annexation of the area. The new northern border had a relatively large number of border crossings, because this border with Hurmu separates the northern part of Coria from the southern part. In Pathaardesh, the concept of building a corridor was repeated. This time, the corridor would consist of a railway, a gas pipeline and a highway, the national highway 27.

Just before the formation of the Great Apollonian Empire, Sri Pashana became part of Çakaristan. The roads in Sri Pashana were of reasonable quality with a limited highway network, especially in the southern part of the island of Duras. However, during the Sanpo-Çakar War, the roads were severely damaged. After the war, the roads were repaired, but it was not until 1748 AN that the state came up with plans to expand the highway network. These plans were included in the national highway plan that was to be drawn up, but the state had already set aside its own financial resources with a view to following Haritdesh's example of building the highways as state roads. In 1752 AN, Sri Pashana received approval from the national government to proceed with this.

The Strait Tunnel project was implemented before political consensus had been reached on the national highway plan. Although this is a railway tunnel, there are connecting sections of motorway, so that vehicles can be transported on a car train.

1753 Highway plan

On 1.I.1753 AN, the national highway plan was presented by the government. After years of political debate, there is finally a national plan, so that the numbering can be implemented and new highways can be tendered and built. The plan consists of three parts: 1) the numbering of existing highways, 2) the formal introduction of expressways and state roads, and 3) plans for new highways. The AmbarganjMaulikpur highway built by Haritdesh has been included, as has the development plan for the highways of Sri Pashana. As well as the connecting highways of the Strait Tunnel.

The government has allocated funds for the planned highways so that tendering can commence promptly. The government hopes to attract international contractors to implement the plans, as was successfully demonstrated with the Strait Tunnel. Because various highways are designated as expressways, this should attract investors who not only want to build a highway, but also want to maintain it in return for subsidies or tolls.

The toll charge is limited by law, which was passed by the Çakari Congress in the previous year.


List of numbered roads

The numbering follows the pattern that roads running relatively north to south are numbered even, and those running west to east are numbered odd. The succession of numbers follows the expansion of the Empire. When numbers from annexed territories were involved, the numbering was revised. If a national highway is interrupted, but the intervening section is an expressway, state road or has yet to be completed, or, in the case of national highway 44, the Strait Tunnel, a lowercase letter indicating the relative topographical direction is added after the number. An expressway has the letter "E" before its number, and a state road has the letter "S" before its number.
