Which consequence results when road foundations on Roman roads experience soil compaction?

💡 Explanation

Reduced load capacity occurs because soil compaction decreases grain interlock, applying stress beyond the road's bearing strength. This yields reduced weight-bearing capability rather than changes in water flow by aqueducts; troop maneuvering efficiency; or signaling rates.
