Which consequence results when Roman road construction exceeded bedrock limits?

💡 Explanation

Increased road network maintenance arises because exceeding proper bedrock compaction causes differential settling, creating potholes. The Differential Settling mechanism accelerated degradation; therefore requiring frequent resurfacing and repair, rather than immediate speed, trade, route security.
