The orimary purpose of the safety rest area is to provide a safe place for a motorist to stop in pleasant surroundings to relax, refresh himself, or to eat something before continuing his drive. An alert driver has fewer accidents, and the Highway Department says providing rest areas is just one of many efforts to reduce the accident toll on highways. There are now more than 1,000 rest areas and turnouts throughout the State for this purpose. The Texas Highway Depart men in the San Antonio district refer to the new rest area as the "Jet Park."
