roundabout/rest area Explanation: Roundabout for plazoleta, rest area for plazoleta turística. Not sure though, just an idea. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 26 mins (2020-11-16 12:24:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- That being the case, then Bruno's answer would be a better choice. I'm well aware of the meaning of "plazoleta", although not in this specific context. |

road verges and median strip Explanation: Road verge: A road verge is a strip of grass or plants, and sometimes also trees, located between a roadway (carriageway) and a sidewalk (pavement) Median strip: The median strip or central reservation is the reserved area that separates opposing lanes of traffic on divided roadways, such as divided highways, dual carriageways, freeways, and motorways. I would translate the "plazoleta turística" as a square. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_strip https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_verge#:~:text=A%20road%20verge%20is%20a,regional%3B%20see%20Terminology%2C%20below. |

(landscaped traffic) island Explanation: Google Images is helpful here. I used "plazoleta autopista" as the search term to rule out town squares, and got this. http://www.google.com/search?q=autopista plazoleta&tbm=isch&... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2020-11-16 17:35:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A "plazoleta turistica" seems designed to be looked at, make a statement, and perhaps be walked on, rather than just to beautify the landscape: http://www.facebook.com/105666027840548/photos/la-plazoleta-... But I think "island" would do as a translation for this too. |

Reference: Refs. Reference information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaza_de_la_Independencia Although the first **colonial town square was what today is known as Plazoleta Benalcázar**, this has always been considered as tentative as it got up a path suitable for novice Spanish town of Quito. It was only in the 17th century, in the year 1612, when the powers of the city moved to the area around the Plaza Grande, they decided to call this way for being the largest at the time.
