Is there a reason why the front door must face the road?

Seems to me that if energy efficiency is your goal, you'd make solar orientation your first priority.

And if there is some kind of local ordinance that you must obey regarding making the front door face the road, I suppose you could design a 'road-facing front door feature' and then orient the rest of the house to the sun.
