Top 10 most crowded rest stops

For those courageous enough to brave the messy traffic this Memorial Day weekend, pulling over will be a necessity. But when it comes to needing a break from the wheel, keep in mind that some rest stops are worse that others.

USA Today compiled a list of the 10 rest stops most visited by commuters using the foursquare app. These are likely to be packed with anxious drivers navigating the busy Northeast Corridor.
Here is the top 10:

  • Delaware Welcome Center Travel Plaza (Newark, Del.)
  • Maryland House Travel Plaza (Aberdeen, Md.)
  • Molly Pitcher Service Area (Cranbury, N.J.)
  • Lake Forest Oasis (Lake Forest, Ill.)
  • Cheesequake Rest Area (Sayreville, N.J.)
  • Woodrow Wilson Service Area (Hamilton, N.J.)
  • Chesapeake House Service Plaza (North East, Md.)
  • Grover Cleveland Service Area (Woodbridge, N.J.)
  • Charlton Service Plaza (Charlton, Mass.)
  • Des Plaines Oasis (Des Plaines, Ill.)

How can Breezewood, PA not be on that list?

12:58PM - Breezewood can't be on the list because Breezewood is a TOWN not a rest stop. I THINK you have the Sidling Hill rest stop on the PA Turnpike in mind. If you are, then I agree with you. Can't understand why that isn't on the list. Another on on the Turnpike would be Midway South.
