Wow, I didn't realise that feeder roads were a Texas-specific thing. How do other parts of the country handle commercial properties that face highways?

It is bizarre (and a bit frustrating) to drive down a NJ turnpike and miss your exit. You have to drive 15 miles to the next one to turn around. And most urban centers are miles from the exit. No stores around. I like the latter, not so much the former.
Other parts of the country call these roads "frontage roads" or "service roads" if they are what I'm thinking of (never been to Texas). They do exist outside of Texas; I've seen them in Myrtle Beach, SC, for instance.
