Update: The successor variant to this mod is Tighter Roads: Extended Edition

Tighter Roads has all the same functions as Tight Roads, as well as removing the excess strip of mandatory road in front of buildings. This required road placeholder was likely implemented to "idiot proof" buildings, so they cannot be obstructed. This mod will put that responsibly in the player's hands. If you block a building's entrance, it will not function.

As with Tight Roads, this mod is NOT SAVE GAME COMPATIBLE, however, you can use the same workaround as instructed on its mod page.

A few buildings could not be altered, such as the town hall, hospital, houses, and hunter's lodge. This was because the back of the structure would bleed over outside their bounding box. A few buildings in this mod will bleed over, but it was very minimal and is easy to work around.
