Huk - Since my brain is mush right now and I have trouble finding words I use all of the time, what do they call the little area where you can pull your car off if you have to stop? I know there's signs saying, "Warning, NO ......" Also, we use expressway, out west it's a freeway, and then there's highway. WTH? LOL

I thought a pig in a poke was like a pen. Criminals get sent to the pokey, so I assumed it was like a jail or a pen.

Watching, are you referring to a rest stop?

We use expressway within the cities, but our main road across the state is the New York State Thruway (owned by some group of guys in New Jersey...)

Yeah, the crooks!! That road that was SUPPOSED to be paid for by now that they just raised the rates on!! Just like the lottery is supposed to help schools. Yeah, sure.

No, the rest stop might have an access road. I'm talking about the very side of the road where all the cars are flying by and you might have to pull over on for car trouble or a bee that's buzzing you... or.... or.... Anyway, you have a problem of some sort. Oh..where the cops pull people over for speeding. Not that I would know anything about that. LOL Watch, I'll get caught because I said that! heh heh

68% Dixie, with many responses credited to the southeastern US. I knew I was a little bit (okay, sometimes alot) country, but my people are from WV & KY - not southeastern states at all...lol
Watching2, here in OH, our state Dept. of Transportation calls that little area either a "rest stop" or "rest area".

What's that road along an Interstate highway?

I think they're talking about road that runs parallel to the freeway; out here we call it a frontage road. (It's often a quicker way to travel if traffic is heavy because non-locals don't know where it goes.)

Ahh... we'd just call it a short-cut or a side road. LOL :-)

38% (Yankee). A definitive Yankee.

(many of my answers indicated no bias ... maybe I am watching too much tv)

Makes sense as I still use most of the language I did growing up in San Francisco. I don't fit into any of the categories really.
