kõrvaleda

Kõrvaleda, also known as the side road or secondary road, is a term used in Estonian to describe a road that branches off from a main road or highway. These roads are typically less traveled and often serve as alternative routes for local traffic. Kõrvaledas are commonly found in rural areas where they connect smaller settlements and farms to the main road network. They are usually narrower and less maintained than primary roads, but they play a crucial role in ensuring connectivity and accessibility in less densely populated regions. In some cases, kõrvaledas may also serve as scenic routes, offering views of the surrounding landscape. The maintenance and condition of kõrvaledas can vary, with some being well-kept and others requiring improvement. Local authorities and communities often work together to ensure the safety and usability of these roads.
