service road
Highway's parallel path
A service road runs parallel to a larger highway, providing access to adjacent properties without entering the main traffic flow.
Also called a frontage road or access road.
Businesses along busy highways typically face the service road: Take the service road to reach the shopping center.
Service roads also allow local traffic to avoid highway speeds.
