What's that road along an Interstate highway?
Frontage road
Service road
Access road
Feeder
I'm from Indiana and I have no clue what any of those roads are called. I know what it's talking about but I've never called it anything... Tell me I'm not alone? lol
Question 13...
access roads?
I'm originally from PA and I had no idea how to answer that road because we do not have frontage or access roads that run along the interstate.

I've heard the first three used in this context but not the fourth. Alongside US Route 50 (not an Interstate) East of Annapolis is a service road or access road named Busch's Frontage Road, from the name of a restaurant once on that road.

frontage roads?
I too could not answer this question because where I grew up in PA/NJ there was no such thing. I saw such roads for the first time only in the Deep South (Mississippi) where they are called "frontage roads" and in New Orleans where they are "service roads". Yet the test says FR is from the Great Lakes (?)
The other question I couldn't answer was what to call throwing toilet paper over a house. (Huh??)

Re: Question 13...

As I understood it the question refers to a small local 2-lane road that runs along a bigger highway (not necessarily an Interstate) for a short run, and not the old U.S. highway that the Interstate replaces...
