Why do we grow plants in between the space of the roads?

Some plants are naturally grown without the human interferance as you may find them in highways, deserted roads, and roads between cities. Regarding the roads in towns this is considered as a decoration for the road for a good view, and as an attempt to increase the green area in towns and cities as you know the green areas are considered as the lungs for modern cities where buildings and factories consider the majority of consistents, meaning to assist in the release of Oxygen for the atmosphere.

Dear Satya,

There are various objective behind planting trees along the road side dividers:

a. To enhance the visual experience of traveling.

b. To define the RoW (Right of Way: Right-of-way (transportation)) especially highlights sharp horizontal curves during night.

c. To screen unsightly view from the road as well as the roadside communities from air & noise pollution.

d. To compensate for the trees proposed to be cut.

e. To prevent the glare from the incoming vehicles.

f. Climatic amelioration etc.
