I don't think it does, since I doubt a public road would go through a car port some how :)

Also, looking at the sat imagery from google there appears to be some kind of dirt track for some of it, but there is also thick areas of trees and no sign of any kind of road.

I though about marking it as a turning circle but there wasn't enough area to turn round and I had to do a 5 point turn.
