Plants are the most beautiful and precious ones that Mother Nature has
given. Plants are the main source of oxygen and they provide food for
humans and give them the resources to satisfy their necessities. It is a human
being's prime duty to safeguard them as a token of thanks and to ensure
2. their survival in the future. This article speaks of how good it is to grow
plants on the roadsides, on medians, etc.
Plants which are grown on the roadside function as water absorber which
runs off the road. This leads to fewer chances of soil erosion and road
flooding.
Spreading their branches along the roadside they provide sun shade for
the pedestrians who walk by and acts as a shelter from the rain during
the rainy season.
During night time they act as a boundary for the drivers who are unable to
determine the end of the road.
They make the roadside soil solid in case it is loose. This stops accident
caused due to the soil eroded when a heavy vehicle runs on it.
Roadside trees act as barriers from strong wind providing a comfortable
drive for drivers.
They won’t allow the dust particles on the road to be spread all over the
surrounding by letting the dust rest over them.
They reduce the effects of greenhouse gas by taking in carbon dioxide and
at the same time providing oxygen as a result of it.
When they are grown on the median, they stop penetration of light from
the current lane to the opposite lane which may blind the driver while
driving.
These plants act as a shelter and a source of food for birds, insects, and
other animals.
Even though they are not watered daily, they provide human with these
many ways to benefits them and nature. So you must start planting on the
roadside and many will be benefited because of your action.
