Illustrative image: ONroute Rest Area, Highway 400, Ontario Our rest areas in BC are tiny and old. In Ontario, they're like theme parks for cars. This is the King City ONroute on the northbound Highway 400; it is located just south of the King-Vaughan townline. — Reg Natarajan/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 2.0
