Rest Areas/Welcome Centers

MDOT operates and maintains 81 rest areas, including 14 welcome centers, along major freeways and roadways for the convenience of the traveling public. Rest areas provide modern restrooms, telephones, picnic areas, pet exercise zones, paved parking areas, and fresh drinking water.

Median Cable Guardrail
Cross-median crashes are three times more
deadly than other freeway crashes. Median cable
guardrail prevents vehicles from going through
medians and crashing into oncoming traffic.
Cable guardrail is expected to reduce cross-median
crashes by an estimated 90 percent.
