Facilities along Interstate 95 northbound offer travelers opportunities for respite during long journeys. These designated locations provide essential amenities such as restrooms, parking, and often, food services. Their proximity to the user’s current location is a key factor in their utility, allowing drivers and passengers to address immediate needs without significant detours.
Strategic placement of these stops significantly enhances road safety by encouraging drivers to take breaks and combat fatigue. Historically, the development of these areas has evolved alongside the Interstate system itself, reflecting a growing awareness of the importance of driver well-being on extended trips. These locations can also boost local economies by providing business opportunities and attracting travelers.
