Driver Fatigue is the single most significant cause of road crashes involving heavy vehicles. To assist drivers to take regular rest breaks, truck stops and rest areas are located throughout Victoria.

To enable drivers to better manage their fatigue, VicRoads, in conjunction with the Victorian Road Freight Advisory Council, developed the following information bulletin:

Truck stops and rest areas Melbourne / Geelong [PDF, 1.2 MB, 8 pp.]

The above information bulletin identifies both public and commercial truck stops and rest areas in Melbourne and Geelong. It details the types of facilities and services available at these locations. It also identifies those facilities that can accommodate B-doubles and most overdimensional loads.
