DISADVANTAGES OF ROAD

TRANSPORT
 VULNERABILITY TO SEASONS AND
WEATHER
• Road transportation is not immune to the weather or seasonal changes. For
example, the roads become inaccessible during floods, rain, and snow. The roads
become unsafe for deliveries, and it is less reliable than rail transportation in this
case.
 BREAKDOWN AND ACCIDENT-PRONE:
• There are numerous accidents on the roads, and there is always a high risk of
accident or breakdown in case of road transport. Hence, it is not predictable or safe
compare to rail.
 NOT SUITABLE FOR LONG-
DISTANCE AND HEAVY CARGO
• Heavy cargo is difficult to handle and transport through road transport. There is
always a chance of overloading and accidents in this case, and such accidents can
prove to be expensive.
 SLOW:
• Unlike rail, air, or water transport, road transports are slower. Hence, it is a
substantial disadvantage and a deterrent.
 LACK OF STRUCTURE AND
ORGANIZATION:
• As a method of transportation, it is much less organized than its counterpart, rail,
water, and air transport. These are way more structured. Furthermore, since it is
irregular, the rates can vary randomly. Due to the multiple options in the industry, it is
unstable and unpredictable.
