Abstract:The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) currently operates and maintains
81 rest areas, including 14 welcome centers, along freeways and other major roadways. Public
rest areas in Michigan serve a broad range of travelers, including vacation/recreational travelers,
commercial vehicle operators, commuters, motorcyclists, bus tours, and others. A majority of
travelers stopping at rest areas desire a restroom break or simply a stretch or short break. Other
patrons utilize rest areas for picnicking, vending machines, relief for children or pets, vehicle
maintenance, to change drivers, obtain travel information, or even sleep. Rest areas provide the
distinct advantage of quick access and facilities that are open 24 hours per day.
