Or in other words: "We cannot maintain this road due to budgetary constraints, no one really lives on it, or uses it regularly, but it does allow access to land, so we're leaving it for now. We might maintain it someday, but don't hold yer breath, and don't go a-hurtin' yerself on account that we don't maintain it, ya hear!" <br /><br />These roads do sometimes look like any ordinary road, only they are "dead" roads. Meaning no one lives on them anymore. Most of the time they are dirt, but can be little more than a scar across a valley. Sometimes these roads are the only way farmers can access lands/fields easily. When that is the case, the road may be declassified further to a "C Level" which allows the landowner to have the rule of access. The roads are then gated off by the State and the public must ask the landowner for permession to pass. It all seems odd, but due to the old "Northwest Ordinance" of 1789 and subsequent laws related to it that this nation passed in the 1800's, the gridded out townships and roads meant to enable settlers to easily access land still hold on to this very day.
