Service facilities, such as service areas and parking areas, are important features of toll roads of closed toll collection systems because they are a principal requirement to help drivers perform safe and comfortable use of the road. Furthermore, improved standards of living and increased use of automobiles have changed the pattern of service facility use in Korea. To keep pace with upgrading desire of people and increasing demand, Korea Highway Corporation reviewed its policies on service facilities and established "Long-Term Plan for Service Facility Development". This paper presents the status of service facilities, the analysis results of the characteristics of service facility use, and the future plan for development.
