A local road, also called a [[street]],{{Clarify|date=May 2025|reason=A street is an urban local road, but rural local roads are rarely called streets.}} is a road in a built environment that has all kinds of properties beside it which can be accessed from the road or a parking lot connected to the road. Different types of local roads include residential streets, avenues, and alleys. They are designed to provide the highest access to property, they have the lowest speed limits and capacities in the mobility-access continuum and are typically not used for through traffic.

Local roads have at-grade intersections and have similar specifications to collector roads. Local roads may be unpaved in some cases. A common feature of local roads is driveways, which connect the road to a residential property.
