Road access is essential for property access and development. Properties without road access (landlocked) require easements. Road improvements or dedication may be required for development.
Pro Tip
Verify road access is adequate and secure. Check whether it's public or private road. Public roads provide certainty; private roads create dependency on others for maintenance.
Example
Property with direct frontage on a public road with adequate width and maintenance.
