rest station
Highway traveler's pause
A rest station is a facility along a highway where travelers can stop to use restrooms, stretch their legs, or consult maps.
Rest stations typically offer parking, vending machines, and picnic areas but not fuel or food service—distinguishing them from truck stops or service plazas.
We pulled into a rest station after three hours on the road.
