highway services

Motorway rest facilities

Highway services are roadside facilities along major roads, typically motorways, offering fuel, food, restrooms, and rest areas for travelers.

In British usage, the term often refers to a single service station complex: We stopped at the highway services for coffee.

American English more commonly uses rest stop, service area, or travel plaza.
