Collector-Distributor Road

A collector-distributor road runs parallel to the main travel lanes of a highway and connects it to frontage roads or entrance ramps. Collector-distributor roads are found at interchanges and allow motorists to bypass a traffic signal by driving under the intersecting road, much like an underpass.
