Lovers' lane

A lovers' lane is a secluded area where people kiss, make out, or engage in sexual activity. These areas range from parking lots in secluded rural areas to places with extraordinary views of a cityscape or other features. The Oxford English Dictionary records use of the phrase "lovers' lane" from 1853.

While some traditional paths still maintain the name, in more recent generations "lovers' lanes" are often found in cultures built around the automobile—lovers often make out in a car or van for privacy.
