When taking a long trip on an interstate highway, how often should you stop at a rest area?

Every 25 miles
Every 50 miles
Every 75 miles
Every 100 miles

The correct answer is: Every 100 miles

When taking a long trip on an interstate highway, it's important to prioritize safety and well-being. While there isn’t a strict rule for how often to stop, a commonly recommended guideline is to take a break every 100 miles. This helps to combat fatigue and allows for a chance to stretch, hydrate, and refresh, improving focus and reducing the risk of accidents due to drowsiness. Stopping every 100 miles provides a balance of regular breaks without detracting significantly from travel time. Regularly scheduled breaks contribute to a safer driving experience, especially on long, monotonous stretches of highway.
