A frontage road (also access road, service road, parallel road, etc.) is a local road running parallel to a higher-speed limited access road. A frontage road is often used to provide access to private driveways, shops, houses, industries or farms. Where parallel high speed roads are provided as part of a major highway these are known as Local-express lanes.

Famous quotes containing the word road:
“In the fevered state of our country, no good can ever result from any attempt to set one of these fiery zealots to rights, either in fact or principle. They are determined as to the facts they will believe, and the opinions on which they will act. Get by them, therefore, as you would by an angry bull; it is not for a man of sense to dispute the road with such an animal.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
