road networks
Connected driving paths
Road networks are interconnected systems of roads, highways, and streets that enable movement across a geographic area.
The term emphasizes how individual roads link together rather than exist in isolation: The city's road network is designed around a central ring road.
Urban planners and traffic engineers study road networks to optimize flow and reduce congestion.
The phrase extends to similar systems: a network of backroads, the interstate highway network.
