  • Here those roads are called Frontage Roads. So the road that runs along side I-35 is simply I-35 NB Frontage for the northbound, SB for the southbound. I am not sure if that is a universal naming method or not.

  • {Sorry, this should be a comment, but I'm not allowed to comment} moderator moved to comments >. If your road network needs to function as a network, i.e., routing and cartographic representations, the service roads will need to be built into the road network just like all the other roads. (Maybe I am reading too much into your question.)

  • classification of the road would be better than renaming roads 'service road' is generic

  • They will be tied into the road network, but I am thinking I'll set them up without any addressing, so that the buildings get the address directly from the highway. The name will look something like "Hwy 52 Service Rd." so that people will have an idea that it's a service road directly off of a major highway. Does this make sense?
