Recently I got some mail about a conference in Texas.
In the directions to the meeting it mentioned a feeder road.
Is a feeder road what we would call a service road in Alabama?

A feeder road is dem dair roads that runs all perpendicular to the freeway. An exit empties the interstate onto the feeder road as well as feeds traffic onto the the interstate.

I hope this has been a might bit helpful in your quest to master Texanese.

Yep....I'm born and raised East Texan. Personally, I most often call it a feeder, but have used all three and known it as all three.

We Texans are just cool like that!

We have several names for the same road and we call all types of soft drinks Coke.

Ernest Tubb used to sing there's a little bit of everything in Texas.
Hey remember the Alamo.

People should live in the country represented by the side they remember.

Neither side has forgotten it. A feeder road is to use from red light to red light to bypass everyone parked on the interstate in a traffic jam.
