Benefits estimation is fundamental to make a decision on acceptability of any road projects. Benefit considers the profits from time saving, cost saving, and saving from accident costs along with other indirect benefits. Distribution analysis pursues to distribute the net benefits or loses created by the project from primary or secondary level. The distribution analysis is worthwhile for policymakers because it permits them to measure whether the prospective distribution of net benefits. Therefore, a sound roads impact evaluation is commanding to project appraisal and policy decision.
