Turnpike service areas consist mostly of [[fast-food restaurant]]s operated by Iris Buyer LLC ([[Applegreen]]). Each rest area also includes restrooms, water fountains, a [[Sunoco]] gas station with a small convenience store, with gas price signs posted about half a mile (0.8&nbsp;km) before reaching the rest area, and a separate parking area for cars and trucks. Some have a dedicated bus parking area, Wi-Fi, and a gift shop as well.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://www.i95exitguide.com/rest-areas/new-jersey-rest-areas/ |title = New Jersey Rest Areas and Service Plazas |website = i95exitguide.com |date = March 30, 2015 |access-date = October 24, 2018 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20181025071008/https://www.i95exitguide.com/rest-areas/new-jersey-rest-areas/ |archive-date = October 25, 2018 |url-status = live }}</ref>

Before 1982, there was a service area on the northbound side named for [[William Halsey, Jr.|Admiral William Halsey]].<ref>{{cite news |url = https://www.nytimes.com/1997/12/07/nyregion/jersey-how-to-get-more-mileage-out-of-name-recognition.html |title = Jersey: How to Get More Mileage Out of Name Recognition |date = December 7, 1997 |work = The New York Times |access-date = December 12, 2014 |url-status = live |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20141216114409/http://www.nytimes.com/1997/12/07/nyregion/jersey-how-to-get-more-mileage-out-of-name-recognition.html |archive-date = December 16, 2014 }}</ref> However, in 1982, exit&nbsp;13A was created, which caused the obscuring of the rest area, as they both overlapped with each other. Anyone who wanted to get to the service area missed exiting at exit&nbsp;13A, and (northbound) drivers who took that exit missed that service area. The service area closed permanently on June 4, 1994.<ref name="halsey">{{cite news |title = Part of Ark Road to Be Closed for Repairs |url = https://www.newspapers.com/clip/13771719/halsey_rest_area_closed_may_8_1994/ |access-date = September 14, 2017 |work = Courier-Post |date = May 8, 1994 |page = 27 |via = [[Newspapers.com]] |url-status = live |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170915114028/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/13771719/halsey_rest_area_closed_may_8_1994/ |archive-date = September 15, 2017 }}</ref> Today, it can be seen by motorists when exiting 13A from the northbound car lanes, where a temporary concrete barrier obstructs an open asphalt lot.<ref>{{google maps |url = https://maps.google.com/maps?q=40.666024,-74.17999&sll=40.508897,-74.373019&sspn=0.733399,0.951949&num=1&t=h&vpsrc=0&z=17 |title = Interstate&nbsp;95 and New Jersey Route&nbsp;81 |access-date = October 16, 2011 |link = no }}</ref>

Two service areas were located on the Newark Bay Extension (one eastbound and one westbound) located west of exit&nbsp;14B. These were closed in the early 1970s. The eastbound service area was named for [[John Stevens (New Jersey politician)|John Stevens]], the westbound service area for [[Peter Stuyvesant]].<ref name="njtpaform">{{cite book |author = New Jersey Turnpike Authority |title = Lane Closure Request Form |publisher = New Jersey Turnpike Authority }}</ref>

In late March 2010, it was revealed that the state transportation commissioner was considering selling the naming rights of the rest areas to help address a budget shortfall.<ref>{{cite news |url = http://www.nydailynews.com/money/2010/03/28/2010-03-28_nj_turnpike_to_nj_turnnike.html |title = New Jersey transportation commissioner considers selling naming rights to NJ Turnpike rest stops |work = [[Daily News (New York)|Daily News]] |location = New York |agency = Associated Press |date = March 28, 2010 |access-date = July 7, 2011 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110815064527/http://articles.nydailynews.com/2010-03-28/news/27060199_1_front-row-marketing-services-transportation-commissioner-nj-turnpike |archive-date = August 15, 2011 |url-status = dead }}</ref>

The Grover Cleveland Service Area in [[Woodbridge Township, New Jersey|Woodbridge Township]] was temporarily closed because of storm damage from [[Hurricane Sandy]] in October 2012, with only fuel available. It was rebuilt and fully reopened on November 23, 2015.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.state.nj.us/turnpike/our-roadways.html |title = Travel Resources: Interchanges, Service Areas & Commuter Lots |publisher = New Jersey Turnpike Authority |access-date = March 21, 2015 |url-status = live |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071213221232/http://www.state.nj.us/turnpike/nj-vcenter-serv.htm |archive-date = December 13, 2007 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title = Turnpike service area in Woodbridge reopens |agency = Associated Press |website = MyCentralJersey.com |date = November 23, 2015 |url = http://www.mycentraljersey.com/story/news/traffic/commuting/2015/11/23/grover-cleveland-service-area/76267352/ |access-date = November 23, 2015 }}</ref> In 2015, the NJTA installed [[Tesla Supercharger]] stations in the Molly Pitcher and Joyce Kilmer service areas to allow Tesla car owners to charge their vehicles.

=== Emergency assistance ===
The NJTA offers {{convert|12|ft|m|adj=mid|-wide}} shoulders wherever possible, and disabled vehicle service may be obtained by dialing #95 on a cellular phone. Towing and roadside assistance are provided from authorized garages. The [[New Jersey State Police]] is the primary police agency that handles calls for service on the turnpike.<ref name=":0"/> New Jersey State Police Troop D serves the New Jersey Turnpike, with stations in [[Cranbury, New Jersey|Cranbury]], [[Moorestown, New Jersey|Moorestown]], and [[Newark, New Jersey|Newark]].<ref>{{cite web |title = Troop D Road Stations |publisher = New Jersey State Police |url = https://www.nj.gov/njsp/division/operations/troop-d.shtml |access-date = May 20, 2024 }}</ref> Other emergency services such as fire and first aid are usually handled by the jurisdictions in which that section of the turnpike passes.<ref name=":0">{{cite web |title = Roadside Assistance |url = https://www.njta.com/travel-resources/roadside-assistance-turnpike |publisher = New Jersey Turnpike Authority }}</ref>
