which was standard for main roads.

Within settlements, where it formed the main axis, the road was paved, often repaired and adjusted over time; remains are still visible, for example, at Otricoli and Carsulae. In rural areas, it likely did not have full stone paving but a gravel surface, which still ensured durability and easier maintenance. It is unclear whether purpose-built sidewalks were present outside urban areas, unlike in towns.
