travel stop

Rest area visit

A travel stop is a roadside facility serving long-distance drivers, typically larger than a gas station and offering fuel, food, restrooms, and sometimes showers or overnight parking for truckers.

The term overlaps with truck stop, though travel stop often suggests amenities for all motorists: We pulled into a travel stop to stretch our legs and grab coffee.
