If you apply a rule to a [[Roads and Paths#Roads_.2B_Road_Posts\|road post]] it will affect all [[Resource\|resources]] arriving from all connected roads.

	You can also restrict resource movement per building by using [[Building Rules]]. For example you can add an import rule at a Sawmill to tell it to only accept Logs from a nearby Lumberjack Hut. This means it will never source from a location that is too far away and could potentially impact productivity and has the additional benefit of keeping resources off your roads.		=Buildings=
