Spanish term

caminos alimentadores y rurales

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) road networks
This is a document from Mexico and it describes a package of proposals and changes of modernisation for the Mexican road network.
The term I am unsure about is "caminos alimentadores". Here is the parag:
a) La conservación de las carreteras federales; b) La construcción, ampliación y modernización de la red federal; c) El impulso a la construcción de autopistas de cuota; y d) Los caminos alimentadores y rurales.

Any ideas anyone?
Thanx a lot.

caminos que van a carreteras más importantes

El concepto de alimentación, en el transporte público, es el de vias de menor envegadura que desembocan en vías más importantes. En inglés se usa mucho el término "feed" "feeding" "feeder", por si tu traducción es al inglés.

¡Suerte!

Dentro del mismo campo del transporte público y la mejora de las redes, el transporte utiliza servicios "de enlace", que serían los vehículos que circulan por esas carreteras o caminos secundarias llevando a pasajeros que posteriormente incorporan a los servicios de las vías principales. Te pongo aquí algunas traducciones:


The light rail system, with its numerous feeder bus connections, serves as the spine of METRO’s transit system. - El sistema de metro ligero, con sus numerosas conexiones de autobuses de enlace, actúa como columna vertebral del sistema de transporte de METRO.

A coordinated and extensive feeder bus system, as well as parking facilities at major stops, is also being planned as part of the project. - Como parte del proyecto, se está estudiando asimismo un extenso sistema de autobuses de enlace y de aparcamientos en las principales paradas.

Real-time information will be provided at all stops and transfers between the rail system and feeder buses will be monitored and controlled to guarantee customer satisfaction. -- En todas las paradas se ofrecerá información en tiempo real y se controlará y hará un seguimiento de los transbordos entre el sistema ferroviario y los autobuses de enlace para garantizar la satisfacción de los usuarios.

Si tu traducción es al inglés, "feeding roads"

The envisaged emergency facility will be broken down in two separate parts addressing the respective needs in roads reconstruction and rail rehabilitation. For both transport modes it will cover the necessary rehabilitation works of bridges, river beds, embankments and feeding roads.

caminos alimentadores y rurales = feeder / secondary / linking / connecting roads

Though Carmen's explanation is quite good, I wouldn't use either "feed" nor "feeding" roads.

Good luck, Joaquim!
