Con
When the site has a river, only one side (usually the one on which you embarked) will be available for caravans.

So if you try to force caravans to the other side of the river, the game will claim that the depot is accessible, but caravans will refuse to arrive.

Remove some statues from the second road so make it wagon-passable, and the caravans should start using it.
Shouldn't be necessary; if it's just the side of the river that matters, I should be able to force the caravan to come in from the north if I move the access road from the east side of the river to the west side, since the caravans seem to prefer the southwest side.
Confirmed; wagons came in from the northern access road, west of the river. Apparently that's all that's necessary, which inconveniently restricts possible trade depot locations.

Or just makes the roads you have to build to your depot significantly longer ;-)

I could have handled the problem of longer roads easily enough, if I'd known about it. What irks me is the fact that I have to change my outfit to accommodate this inconvenient fact.
