10 ‘Nap and Go’ Rest Spots Are Now Available For Fatigued Drivers
Since fatigue driving is one of the main reasons behind road crashes, we initiated the concept of stopping the car at a safe spot and resting before continuing to drive. A ten-minute power nap is sufficient enough to keep someone alert to drive for around 45 minutes hence ten rest spot areas labeled as “Nap & Go” have been installed in Medco Gasoline Stations and are sponsored by Picon. The spots are located along the coast and mountains where fatigued drivers can take a nap before continuing to drive.
These rest spots are advertised with a special rest road sign 300 meters ahead of the gasoline station, a large backlit sign in the gasoline station, and reflective markings on the road designating the parking spot for one car. There is camera surveillance at most of the stations where the spots are located in addition to employees who are present 24/7.
