Rest Areas
Are you planning a road trip over the holidays? Find Rest Areas and Driver Reviver sites along your route where you can stop, rest and refresh yourself.
Rest Areas
Plan to stop at a rest area every two hours when driving to manage fatigue and passenger comfort. You can use this rest areas map to locate rest areas with the facilities you need along your planned journey.
During peak holiday periods, some rest areas operate a Driver Reviver program. These sites are signposted by Driver Reviver and offer a safe place to stop for a biscuit, and a cup of tea or coffee, in addition to other facilities.
