A road that was paved recently seems to increase the frequency of this tires audible signature!! Ok, did that sound technical enough and I know it's not a curtain (certain) road, fat fingers make typing difficult!

I thought it might be a local term. Quite a few people in California would have puzzled looks on their faces if one used the term 'feeder road' or 'feeder', but anyone with a Texas DL who has driven anywhere in the Texas Urban Triangle (DFW-Houston-San Antonio) would be familiar with those terms.

Possibly a bad example. I meant it re relation to Freeways/Interstates and the only locations I can think of (off the top of my head) in CA are at points along I-80 between Vallejo and Sacramento.
