The position of roads relative to the plot is considered important in Vastu Shastra.

Road on one side:

A plot with road to the eastern side is called 'east block'. This is a very good position.

A plot with the road to the western side is called the 'west block'. This position is acceptable.

A plot with the road to the northern side is called the 'north block'. This is very good position.

A plot with the road to the southern side is called the 'south block'. This position is not preferred but can be utilized with careful planning and adhering to all the other principles of Vastu Shastra.
