The Texas safety rest program is a plan that has been put into action to provide safe, beautiful, and innovative places for travelers to stop along the way. So many wrecks involve weary travelers, and with great places to stop and rest, Texas safety rest area supporters hope that people will stop before they get tired. Rest is essential on long trips, but so often there is not a good place to stop and rest, and fatal and devastating crashes are the result.

Texas is a mighty big state, the largest in the lower 48 and second in the entire country only to Alaska. While traveling through Texas it is easy to become tired, drowsy, maybe even just bored. With a state as large as Texas a lot of the countryside is fairly remote, and the Texas Highway Department has done an outstanding job providing nice Texas rest areas in otherwise remote locations for weary travelers.
