lovers' lanes

Lovers' lanes are secluded roads or parking spots where couples go to be alone, typically for romantic or sexual activity in parked cars.

The term evokes a nostalgic image of American dating culture, particularly from the mid-twentieth century, though such spots still exist.

The old dirt road by the reservoir was known as the local lovers' lane.

Police sometimes patrol lovers' lanes, and they feature prominently in urban legends about escaped killers.
