One could use rentable delivery vans for furniture and companies could have cars for transporting tools and workers from a central location to where they are required. The civilians who work there can indeed just take a bus/metro/bicycle and be faster in many cases.

Hello, this François on fantsy pants lane. Yes the one that doesn't have a road, that's it.

Anyway, I need 400 sq feet of ceramic tile delivered as I'm having some work done to my flat. I also need about 20 gallons of mastic and five bags of sanded grout. No, you can't drive a delivery van here, there is a shared lot two blocks away you can park at and then then the delivery people will have to bring everything from there. You won't do it? Yes I know tile is heavy. 2400 lbs? Well, dont you have a smaller delivery bike or something? Well, can't you get one? I don't understand why you're being so uncooperative!

I've seen wheelbarrows used for that kind of thing. It's not like you could drive into the house anyways. The distances to the road portrayed in the image look quite reasonable. If one has no roads it becomes an issue if there is no replacement. For personal transit there are plenty of alternatives in cities. Pedestrian roads that can be opened to vehicles as exceptions also seem like a good compromise. I don't know where you would ride a bike if there's no road either. Some cities I've been to have bike lanes wide enough to fit cars too.
