English translation:road access.
Explanation:
I think what the phrase is saying is that the dwellings which are not accesible by road are better conserved. "aceso rodado" appears to refer to access by road.

not accesible to wheeled vehicles


Explanation:
I thought of 'road vehicles', but that would not exclude off-road vehicles, such as 4-wheel drives, /suv's, Jeeps, etc.

www.mymotherlode.com › ... › Mother Lode Recreation Guide
The forest service's definition of off highway vehicles include: ATV's, Quads or 4 wheelers, rock crawling vehicles and .... Not accessible by wheeled vehicles.

The phrase is found about 2/3 down the page near the end of the Hunter Creek paragraph.
