ABSTRACT

The provision of motorists stop and rest area along

the highway averts drowsiness and accidents of the
travelers. It maximizes safety and comfort of the motorist
as they return to the roadway. The Halsema highway as the
major route to Northern Luzon and regarded as dangerous road
in the Philippines has a potential of providing stop and
rest station since it has no designated one stop facility
provided. The researcher proposed to come up with the design
of motorist stop and rest area in Sinipsip, Buguias that
will meet the needs of the travelers and promotes the
facility integrating its decent building character of the
community. A descriptive type method of research was used to
relate and analyze the applicable principles and theories
that equates to the study. As a result, the motorist stop
and rest area was found out as a complex facility provided
that it services many functions for the motorists.
Additionally, it gives a new appearance considering its
distinctive building character and showcased an image as a
remarkable to motorists both travelers and tourists. The
researcher recommends to further implements guidelines in
designing a stop and rest area. To maintain the appearance
of the complex, the researcher recommends to the proponent
to preserve the character for future renovations and
additions of the facility regardless of the provided
services in the complex.
