English term or phrase: tributary road
En un poema caribeño, la frase aparece en el siguiente contexto:
"I ran downstairs
[...]
straight up our tributary road
and up the hard shoulder
of the main highway"
Se refiere a un camino o calle que conecta un pueblo / ciudad a la autopista? Sería similar al concepto de "acceso", usado en pueblos y ciudades de la Argentina? O se refiere a una "colectora"? Me interesa entender el concepto y a la vez buscar una versión que funcione en un contexto rioplatense (Argentina).
