Regular stops and the opportunity for rest breaks are essential for safe driving, and formal rest areas are provided to help drivers manage fatigue and comply with driving hours regulations (by providing an opportunity for sleep and rest breaks). Information on rest area locations and facilities is sourced from open data that state and territory governments publish. The NFDH combines and harmonises the underlying data from each jurisdiction into a national dataset. The following visualisation illustrates the rest area location and facilities information contained in this dataset.
