Rest Stops NearbyNew Jersey Turnpike service plazas
The New Jersey Turnpike runs 122 miles from the Delaware Memorial Bridge to the George Washington Bridge area. Its service areas carry the names of famous New Jerseyans and sit on one side of the road, so most serve only one direction. We list 11 stops along it (the New Jersey Turnpike Authority lists 12 service areas; we add the missing ones as we find exact locations).

Can you sleep at rest stops in New Jersey?
New Jersey has no statewide time limit for rest areas that we could find in its laws or on its DOT site. Look for a time limit on the signs at each site. Tents and grills are not welcome at highway rest areas.
