Rest Areas by State
Rest stops in all 50 states – on a map, grouped by interstate and direction, with amenities, truck parking and each state’s overnight rules.
We list 2,401 state rest areas and welcome centers across the United States. Pick a state to see all of its rest stops on a map, grouped by interstate and direction, with amenities, truck parking and the next stop down the road.
Rest areas are run by each state's department of transportation, so what you'll find varies: some states build large welcome centers with exhibits and staff, others keep a handful of simple stops with restrooms and vending machines. Overnight rules differ too – every state page summarizes them with a link to the official source.

What to Expect at State Rest Areas

Rest Stops by State: FAQ
Which state has the most rest areas?
See the ranking above – it’s based on the rest areas and welcome centers in our data. Large states with long interstates such as Texas tend to have the most, while some smaller states have only a handful.
Who runs the rest areas in each state?
State rest areas are built and maintained by each state’s department of transportation, sometimes together with the state tourism office for welcome centers. Service plazas on toll roads are run by the toll road authority.
Are the rules for rest stops the same in every state?
No. Time limits for parking, overnight rules and whether rest areas close at night are set by each state. Every state page sums up the rules with a link to the official source where we have one.
Why do some states have so few rest areas?
Some states have closed rest areas to save money, and in dense areas truck stops and service plazas fill the gap. Each state page lists the truck stops and service plazas alongside its rest areas.
