My recommendation, as a native English speaker, would be to use tidal rather than tidal flat. Tidal flat is apparently a synoym for mud flat, but such roads might also be placed across sandy or rocky terrain. For that matter, such terrain might not be completely flat; there might be some areas that are only submerged when there is an extra-high tide, or if there is a storm. -- John F.
