Roads have always been addressed as formidable channels through which people, goods, news, ideas and cultures are transferred, and they indeed constitute the ‘circulatory system’ of entities such as regions, states, continents. They are means through which social, economic and cultural patterns are conveyed, and languages, traditions, religions, habits, fashions, musical practices and material culture are transmitted.
