Comment: "it was for the title of a movie..and i thought "The berm" (la berma) sounded better than "the shoulder...but I know what you mean Henry. I gave it to suzy for being first. Gracias a todos! Buenas noches!"

shoulder
I know "berma" to be the "shoulder" of a road, not a rest area, and it is normally unwise or prohibited to stop there except in an unavoidable emergency. It's just the built-up edge of the road next to the main pavement, may or may not also be paved.
