ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Motorway service area

Okay kiddo, you know how sometimes when we go on car trips, we need to stop for a break? Well, sometimes we stop at a special type of place called a motorway service area.

It's kind of like a small town that's built right by a highway. There are big parking lots for cars and trucks to park in, and there's usually a building with lots of different things inside.

When we go inside, there might be a store where we can buy snacks, toys, and other things. There might also be some restaurants where we can buy food to eat. Oh, and there are bathrooms where we can go potty and wash our hands, too!

Now, these service areas are special because they're designed to help us rest and recharge while we're on a long drive. They have everything we might need to be comfortable until we're ready to get back on the road again.

And that's it, kiddo! Motorway service areas are just special stopping places on long car trips where we can buy things, eat, and take a rest.
