I-4 has two pairs of [[rest area]]s, one near [[Polk City, Florida|Polk City]] and the other near [[Longwood, Florida|Longwood]]. At each location, there are separate facilities on opposite sides of the freeway that provide services to traffic in both directions. The rest areas all provide disabled facilities with restrooms, picnic tables, drinking water, pet exercise areas, outside night lights, telephones, vending machines, and nighttime security.<ref name="restareas">{{cite web |author = Staff |url = http://www.dot.state.fl.us/statemaintenanceoffice/Rest_Area_Listing.shtm |title = Florida's Rest Area, Service Plaza, Truck Comfort Station (WIM), and Welcome Center Locations |publisher = Florida Department of Transportation |access-date = February 3, 2013 |year = 2013 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130206121010/http://www.dot.state.fl.us/statemaintenanceoffice/Rest_Area_Listing.shtm |archive-date = February 6, 2013 |df = mdy-all }}</ref><ref>{{google maps |url=https://maps.google.com/?ll=28.160514,-81.783793&spn=0.014472,0.027874&t=m&z=16 |title= Map of Polk County Rest Area vicinity |access-date= February 3, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{google maps |url= https://maps.google.com/?ll=28.723109,-81.363029&spn=0.057581,0.111494&t=m&z=14 |title= Map of Seminole County Rest Area vicinity|access-date=February 3, 2013 |link= no}}</ref>
