roaded

Fitted with pavement

Roaded describes land that has had roads built through it: The previously remote wilderness is now heavily roaded.

In forestry and land management contexts, roaded areas contrast with roadless areas, which often receive special environmental protections.

The term appears mainly in technical and policy discussions about land use and conservation.
