"You can take either road." (i.e. There are two roads and the person can take one or the other.)

To add to what has already been posted. Either can also be used to when indicating that someone/something doesn't meet a condition along with someone/something else. For example.

John: I don't have a dog.
You: I don't have a dog either. lit. (I also don't have a dog.)

Another example.

Jim isn't going to the party this weekend.
Gary isn't going eith
