Rest stops are frequently used by travelers as a break from their journey. These locations are designated resting areas that provide facilities for public use. However, they can be referred to by several different names depending on the region. In North America, they are commonly referred to as rest areas or service plazas. In Australia and some parts of Asia, they are referred to as rest stops or rest areas. In Europe, they are known as service areas or lay-bys. Regardless of the name, these stops provide a safe and convenient place for people to rest, eat, or use the restroom during their travels.
