What is a road reserve?

In Uganda, a road reserve is 15m from the centerline on either sides of the road. The recommended building line is 3m for urban/town centers and 6m for rural areas from the edge of the road reserve.

A road reserve is a legally described area within which facilities such as roads, footpaths, and associated features may be constructed for public travel. The situation of people setting up buildings in Uganda is quite serious because it is threatening not only current but future road expansion as well.

An announcement from the Uganda National Roads Authority states that,.
Setting up any form of infrastructure or business in the road reserve is illegal:
• Do not construct in road reserves
• Do not plant crops in road reserves
• Do not purchase land in road reserves
• Do not erect billboards/signs in the road reserve without UNRA authorization.
Properties and businesses built in the road reserve will be demolished
