lay-bys

British rest areas

Lay-bys is the plural of lay-by, a British term for a paved area alongside a road where vehicles can pull off temporarily: We stopped at a lay-by to check the map.

Lay-bys serve for rest stops, emergencies, or roadside vendors.

In Australian and British retail, a lay-by is also a payment plan where goods are held until fully paid off.
