A service area is not only a place where drivers can fill the tank. There is also a special parking lot where motorists can stop their cars and get some rest. Quite often there are even small shops and fast food restaurants in service areas.
Do not confuse service areas with the information service as it provides services of another nature. This is the place where one can get information about interesting sights, hotels and other tourist facilities, as well as purchase a map of local roads. Car repairs centers are usually located in suburbs of big cities.
Drivers can relax not only in service areas, but also in a so-called "green zone". A green zone is a small parking lot, near which you will find free toilets and vending machines for drinks and snacks, as well as a real green area with benches suitable for a comfortable stay.
