Construction methods
Road construction - special construction industry, which includes the design of new roads, maintenance and repair of various types of roads. On the functional purpose of pavement dependent methods and materials used in the construction or repair of roads.
Construction equipment
Road construction machinery in recent years not only helps carry out the construction work on roads and highways quickly and increase productivity, and reduce labor and energy costs. With this technique solved a number of problems for the construction of facilities, paving, or its alignment.
Street construction

Due to the rapid growth in the number of cars growing plights garages and car parks. There is a garage and parking is at present not completely satisfy the needs of car owners. The greatest difficulties in selecting sites for both short-and long parking lots occur in places of mass-concentration: in the business districts, near the stadiums and train stations, the industrial and commercial centers.

Research specialist transport in most other developed countries found that at sites in central business districts in the hours of "peak" collects about 85-90% of the cars. Studies carried out in the U.S., show that during peak periods only 5-15% of the vehicles are in motion, and the rest are in car parks, the sidewalks or continue to move in search of parking spaces. The concept of urban car ownership based on the need of massive, well-organized public transport, the presence of which in some cases makes it unprofitable and inefficient use of private cars.

Highway road construction
Construction of highways has always been a priority for road construction. Roads not only gives you the freedom of movement, but the impact on the economic development of the country. Highway road is generally considered long distance and relatively high bandwidth, made of high quality materials.

Roads consist of subgrade, base, several coatings of the roadway (the so-called pavement), shoulders, drainage devices and traffic control devices. The base is usually done in order to transfer the load from passing cars in dispersed form in the road bed. The top cover of the roadway can be made of gravel to bitumen impregnation, asphalt, concrete, portland cement-impregnated soil or gravel. Shoulder is needed to support the pavement and also serve for an emergency stop. Drainage devices are necessary for removal of external water and stormwater flows.

Highway streets
Construction of any street road begins with the design. Only in this case the individual approach to the construction of roads, and increases its quality and durability. Designers have to get all the necessary information about the area, including geotechnical and geodetic studies, and to take into account the requirements of the relevant national standards to the construction of roads and customer requirements.
Stages
The main activities at road works carried out in the following stages of construction: preparatory work, construction of buildings and civil engineering works of small, medium and large construction of bridges, the production of concentrated work on the construction of the road bed, the unit subgrade, pavement unit (base and cover) , the situation the way and finishing.
