A tributary typically refers to a smaller road that feeds
into a larger, primary road or highway. This concept is
often used to describe the hierarchical structure of road
networks, where larger, more significant roads serve as
the main arteries, while smaller roads connect to them,
much like tributaries.

A tributary road is a secondary

road that connects to a primary road
or highway, facilitating access to and
from smaller communities,
neighborhoods, or local destinations.
