How to Stay Alert and Safe at Rest Areas
Plan Your Stops: Research and plan your rest stops in advance. Opt for well-lit, well-maintained areas, preferably with amenities like food and restrooms.
Stay Alert: Always be aware of your surroundings. Park in visible areas close to the main building or entrance.
Secure Your Vehicle: Always lock your doors, and keep windows up when you leave your car.
Avoid Flashy Displays: Keep valuables out of sight and avoid drawing attention with flashy jewelry or large amounts of cash.
Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off about a rest stop, don’t hesitate to leave and find another spot.
