2. As per the Nagpur plan, the un-surfaced roads were meant for
Other district road and village road
Major district road
State highway
National highway
1. Other district road and village road
Explanation:
The Nagpur plan classified the roads into two categories, category one was meant for the national highway, state highway, and major district road. The un-surfaced roads were meant for other district roads and village roads.

CRCP
JPCP
All the above
4. All the above
Explanation: Rigid pavements are classified into four types:
i) Jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP)
ii) Jointed reinforced concrete pavement (JRCP)
iii) Continuous reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP)
iv) Pre-stressed concrete pavement (PCP)
4. The phases of highway planning do not include the following?
Financing
Showing the phasing of a plan in the five-year plan
Assessment of road length requirement
Preparation of master plan
1. Financing
Explanation: Financing of the highway is done after the planning of the highway after getting approval from the government, before the assessment, preparation, and DPR are prepared.
5. Which of the following branch of engineering deals with the improvement of traffic performance, traffic studies, and traffic network?
Traffic engineering
Traffic management
Railway engineering
Highway engineering
1. Traffic Engineering
Explanation: Traffic engineering is an area of engineering that deals with improving traffic performance, traffic studies, and traffic networks, as well as geometric design and other standards.
6. The road foundation for modern highways construction, was developed by which of the following scientists?
Telford
Macadam
Tresguet
Both a and b simultaneously at a shallow depth
4. Both a and b simultaneously at a shallow depth
7. What is the goal of traffic engineering?
To connect cities and villages
To reduce high-speed collisions
To cut travel time in half
All the above
2. To reduce high-speed collisions
Explanation: The most significant goal is to reduce high-speed collisions, and pedestrians should be treated as elements rather than obstacles.
8. What is the use of highways?
Created to connect cities and villages
The quickest option
They cut travel time in half
All the above
4. All the above
Explanation: When traveling between cities, highways are frequently the quickest option. Highways were created to connect cities and villages, and because they’re wide and have high-speed limits, they cut travel time in half.
9.What is Highway Engineering?
It’s a specialized field of Civil Engineering
It’s a specialized field of Concrete Technology
It’s a specialized field of Transportation Engineering
None of the mentioned
3. It’s a specialized field of Transportation Engineering
Explanation: Within the area of Transportation Engineering, Highway Engineering is a specialized field. Highway engineers also plan highways with the goal of improving traffic flow and safety for all vehicles that use them.
10. The maximum number of cities and towns are connected by which type of highway?
State highway
Village road
National highway
Major district road
3. National highway
Explanation: The national highway connects most of the cities and towns in the country. State highway connects in the state, village road in villages and other roads connect the remote areas.
