business route

Through the center

A business route is a designated road that passes through the commercial center of a town or city, diverging from a highway that bypasses the urban area.

The designation directs travelers to local businesses, restaurants, and services rather than around them: Take the business route if you want to stop for lunch.

Marked with "Business" or "Bus" alongside the route number.
