Question

I think its because the roads where dangerous and broken

Answer 2

Answer:

Because the roads were cracked and Johns people thought it was dangerous.

Explanation:

'By the Waters of Babylon' is a short story penned by Stephen Vincent Benet. The story is a post-apocalyptic type story that narrates the relationship between humans and technology.

In the story, the Johns people avoided traveling to the god-roads because they were falling apart into great blocks of stone. When John and his people entered the Place of God they saw that the god-roads were broken and cracked and it was not safer to go from that way. So, they traveled through the forest, which was safer than the god-roads.
