A non-limited access road running parallel to a higher-speed road, usually a freeway, and feeding it at appropriate points of access.
In scary movies,the dumbas*es always pick to take the service road because it's faster. Then some chainsaw/gun/knife/machete wielding maniac shows up, or the car breaks down. They die. Wouldn't have happened on the highway.

A frontage road (also access road, service road, outer road, and especially surface road, or feeder) is a non-limited access road running parallel to a higher-speed road, usually a freeway, and feeding it at appropriate points of access (slip ramps). In many cases, the frontage road is a former highway already in existence when the limited access road was built. In other cases they may be built prior to construstion of the highway. Frontage roads are frequently one way roads when then exit on both sides of a highway.
i dont know its relation to the movies. maybe you saw a scene in a movie that was set on the service road?

I don't know what it has to do with movies, but a service road is a road that runs parallel to the main road and carries the same name.

A service road is an access road for those who provide services. Fire roads, those dirt paths beside arroyos, the trails rangers use to empty the trash cans and make rounds, that sort of thing.

Since a service road runs alongside interstates, or used to, I would imagine movies crediting them would be the owner who either made one available or the contractor who designed/
provided/laid one for location sites.
