Leverkusen (dpa / lnw) - The Autobahn GmbH des Bundes has presented a new type of rest area with a toilet on the busy Autobahn 3 near Leverkusen. The pilot plant at the Reusrather Heide Ost location has, among other things, a seating area with weather protection, outdoor fitness equipment and high tables in the open air, as Autobahn GmbH announced on Wednesday. "With the Reusrather Heide Ost, a heavily frequented rest area on a major European transit route was deliberately chosen," the company explained about the location on the A3 near Leverkusen. The Autobahn GmbH is developing a Germany-wide uniform concept to improve the quality of the unmanaged rest areas.
