← HistoryWhich consequence resulted implementing cambering on Roman road construction?
A)Reduced road surface water accumulation✓
B)Increased burden-bearing load capacity
C)Decreased construction material consumption
D)Simplified integration with sewer systems
💡 Explanation
Road camber introduced slope, causing surface runoff via gravitational drainage because water follows the path of least resistance. Therefore, standing water reduces, rather than causing increased load, less material usage or assisting sewage.
