service plaza
Turnpike rest area
A service plaza is a roadside facility along a highway or turnpike that offers travelers amenities such as fuel, food, restrooms, and sometimes lodging or vehicle services.
These complexes are typically larger and more comprehensive than simple rest stops, often featuring multiple restaurants and shops under one roof.
We stopped at the service plaza to grab coffee and fill up the tank.
The term is especially common along toll roads in the northeastern United States.
