Extensive Definition
Frontage is the full length of a plot of land or
a building measured alongside the road on to which the plot or
building fronts. This is considered especially important for
certain types of commercial and retail real estate, in applying
zoning bylaws and property tax. In the case of contiguous buildings
individual frontages are usually measured to the middle of any
party wall.
In the United States, a frontage
road is one which runs parallel to a major road or highway, and
is intended primarily for local access to and egress from those
properties which line it.
In military parlance, a unit's
frontage is the width of land which it is responsible for attacking
across or defending. See front line and
FEBA.
River frontage and ocean frontage is the length
of a plot of land that faces directly onto a river or ocean
respectively. The amount of such frontage may affect the value of
the plot.
