What is a "rest area"?
A rest area is a designated location along a highway or road where drivers and travelers can stop to take a break. These areas usually offer basic facilities such as restrooms, picnic tables, and sometimes vending machines or food outlets. Rest areas provide a safe space for people to rest, stretch, or eat during long drives, helping to reduce driver fatigue and improve road safety. They are typically located at regular intervals on highways to make travel more comfortable and convenient.
