service lane Explanation: Could it be referring to the parts that are additional to the actual road? ie. "Pasos para fauna" = the central reservation, "zanjas" = the drains, etc. Therefore "paso de servicio" could be the service lane or "hard shoulder" |

service road Explanation: I think this may be a service road is a smal road running parallel to a larger one and gives Access to shops and businesses. Reference: http://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/service_road |

overpass Explanation: I don't disagree with the other options but it isn't clear from the context, it could mean something going over the road, not alongside it. The pantallas acústicas would prevent anybody from crossing the road, hence the need for an overpass. Another option. |

Reference: Animals crossing Reference information: I understand "Pasos para fauna" to be animal crossings, not the central reservation. Google images has some interesting ones. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2016-12-15 08:16:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I assume "paso de servicio" is the same as "vía de servicio", which I see quite a lot around Valencia. It sticks in my mind because of an ongoing dispute about whether the correct form in Valencian is "Servei" o "Servici"... http://www.autoescuela.tv/normas-11_20_4-Circulacion-Vias_pu... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2016-12-15 08:17:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Vía de servicio: Es el camino sensiblemente paralelo a una carretera respecto de la cual tiene carácter secundario, conectado a esta solamente en unos puntos y que sirve a las propiedades o edificios contiguos, pudiendo ser unidireccional o bidireccional" https://www.google.es/search?hl=es&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1920&bih=963&q=paso+para+fauna&oq=paso+para+fauna&gs_l=img.3...875.3259 |
