For the last several months, I've noticed some dirt roads off to the sides of several main roads (World Drive, Osceola Parkway). There's a 99% chance this is routine, nothing to get worked up about, maybe even something there for ages. But I could swear they weren't there a few years ago.
My best guess is that they provide a path for heavy-duty construction vehicles, so they don't have to travel on the Guest roads (and cause delays). Why they NEED heavy vehicles is another interesting question. Again, it's probably routine. Fixing overpasses and the like. But I did want to report on the dirt roads all the same.

Some of these roads lead to reserve parking lots for cast members (if the parks/wwos are extra busy, they shuttle CMs in). Some are access for fire prevention vehicles. Disney has to maintain constant vigilance against brush fires as nearly every park and hotel is bordered on at least one side by Wilderness. Some provide access to utilities and waste management plants too.
