Roads Improvement Association
British organisation
Summary
The Roads Improvement Association, established in 1882, was a British organisation which campaigned for better roads in the late 19th century and first half of the 20th century. Founded by cycling organisations ten years before the first motor cars arrived on the roads, it became predominantly a motoring body before World War I.
