    They increase a population's mobility. For example:
    to get crops to market;
    to allow people to seek medical attention;
    to move goods and services;
    to open recreational and employment opportunities;
    the Interstate System in the US was also designed to allow stretches where airplanes could land in times of national emergency;
    they allow people to easily evacuate in times of hurricane;
    there are many, many more reasons roads are important.
