I've noticed a few people complaining that village claims block off local traffic.
One way of addressing this would be allowing the lawspeaker to place 'reverse claims' which effectively designate space as public zones (no trespassing scents, no theft scents)
Make them only placeable within the village the lawspeaker is a member of and allow them to border with but not overlap private claims.
Alternatively people could just build highways AROUND their village claims, but that'll be tough while the dev's haven't really settled on the mechanic they're using for claim size
