Definition
A service road is a road that runs parallel to a main road or highway, providing access to businesses, residences, or other facilities. 🛣️ It separates local traffic from the main flow, enhancing safety and efficiency. Think of it as a side street that lets you reach specific destinations without merging into high-speed lanes. Unlike the highway, it's designed for slower speeds and frequent stops. Service roads often have more intersections and traffic lights. They are a crucial element in urban and suburban planning, ensuring both accessibility and traffic flow.
