motorable
Passable by car
Motorable describes a road or route that can be traveled by motor vehicle.
The term appears most often in contexts where this isn't guaranteed—rural areas, developing regions, or mountainous terrain: The track is motorable only in dry season.
A motorable road may still be rough, unpaved, or challenging, but vehicles can pass.
