To me, the significant thing about the River Road is that it dead-ends at Lord Harroway’s Town and doesn’t continue on to Maidenpool, whereas the Rosby Road (connecting through King’s Landing) does, which weakens connections between Riverrun and its more eastern vassals and strengthens the connections between those vassals and the capitol.
Re roads: Good points. However, isn’t the river road itself atypical of that in that connects the Rock and Riverrun, then follows the Red Fork? The former is fitting for a number of reasons, but wouldn’t it be more apt if at Riverrun it instead turned south-east to join the gold road near KL? Wouldn’t Daeron II (Dornish integration, had Summerhall connnected to the Boneway) and Egg (lords on side) have seen the benefit of Highgarden-Storm’s End? Did Pycelle big-note Tywin’s road contributions?
