A road roller is a heavy machine used to flatten roads. It rolls over the ground to make it smooth and ready for cars!
The Road Roller is a heavy-duty machine with one or two large, smooth metal cylinders, called drums, in place of regular wheels. Often bright yellow or orange, its compact, boxy body houses an operator's cab, making it look incredibly powerful and robust.
