So that countries development and increase of the welfare of population would not happen on expense of development of some separate regions. Most important causes for uneven economical development of regions are different distances from markets and transportation related to that, as well as different level of the development of infrastructure. Most complicated dement of logistics is road network, which is equally important to ensure flow of material resources, product and people.
