Roads increase the output of commerce and can be built in any terrain except water squares.
Also, units moving along roads expend one third of a movement point per square, regardless of terrain type. Roads cannot cross a River until the development of Engineering, which allows for bridgebuilding. This will also sever the domestic Trade network.
