service plazas
Turnpike rest complexes
Service plazas are rest stops along highways, typically on toll roads or turnpikes, offering fuel, food, restrooms, and sometimes lodging.
Unlike basic rest areas, service plazas are commercial facilities with restaurants and convenience stores: We stopped at a service plaza on the turnpike for coffee and gas.
The term is most common in the northeastern United States.
