What is a "frontage road"?
A frontage road is a smaller road that runs parallel to a larger highway or main road, providing access to properties or businesses along the main road. It is designed to allow vehicles to enter and exit the main road safely, without causing traffic disruptions. Frontage roads are often found in areas where there are businesses, residential developments, or other properties that need easy access to major highways. They help to keep traffic flowing smoothly on the larger road while allowing local traffic to reach specific destinations.
Examples
