For millennia, highly valued silk, cotton, wool, glass, jade, lapis lazuli, gold, silver, salt, spices, tea, herbal medicines, foods, fruits, flowers, horses, musical instruments, and architectural, philosophical, and religious ideas traveled those routes. The roads themselves were generally in poor condition.

their speed toward each other is 124.7 + 253.5 = 378.2 m/h
they have moved toward each other for 8 min = 8/60 hours
so their present distance apart is 252.5 - 378.2*8/60 = 252.5 - 50.42 = 202.1 miles
202.1 miles / 378.2 m/h = 0.534 hour
* 60 min / hr = about 32 minutes
they have moved toward each other for 8 min = 8/60 hours
so their present distance apart is 252.5 - 378.2*8/60 = 252.5 - 50.42 = 202.1 miles
202.1 miles / 378.2 m/h = 0.534 hour
* 60 min / hr = about 32 minutes
