Why were Roman roads safe to travel large distances?

Roman roads were built straight with ditches dug into the sides for water drainage. At the time, it was very rare to find this and most roads were dangerous.

Roman roads were very quick and safe to travel large distances. The Roman soldiers were not the only people to use them. Merchants used them to carry goods all over the Roman Empire.
