Primitive road
A primitive road is a minor road system, used for travel or transportation that is generally not maintained or paved.[1] Primitive roads primarily occur in rural farmlands, deserts, or forests rather than in developed areas.
Classification[]
A primitive road can be classified if it meets the following criteria:
- Is not classified as part of the area's primary road system
- Has an average annual daily traffic of one hundred or fewer vehicles.[2]
- Is typically made as non paved gravel road or dirt road driveway
In the United States most of these roads are maintained by local governments and signed as county highways.
