Maybe people are talking about something more... Separate(?) from the roadway? Some of the old tollways here in Japan used to have bus stops along them, so they had a small little area with an access road for the bus, separated by a median or hedge, that led to a bus stop accessible by pedestrians. The service raid reconnected to the tollway a few hundred meters up, allowing the bus not to have to exit the motorway to drop off and pickup people. Those have now closed, and they are merely used for emergency parking and have a call box. I understand that some (well, a lot) of turnouts have call boxes on popular, yet narrow roads, but the turnout is primarily used for passing. It sounds like these breakdown bays have larger areas or purpose built roads, kind of like a chain changing station. Or is everyone describing a turnout with a call box(emergency phone)?
