The article discusses the distribution of wood mass transported by a given forest road, the traffic load of forest roads and the maintenance requirements. In a case study of a forest road with primary forestry use we examine how the traffic load and transport quantity of the forest road change with increasing distance from the public road. Only the traffic due to transport of wood is taken into consideration. Non-forestry uses of the forestroad are relatively unimportant in this case, due to the rural characterof the landscape and the fact that larger towns are far away.
