Those signs for restaurants, lodging and gas that you see on our interstate exits are very useful. They eliminate garish billboards while giving you quick information. However, according to this article, those signs are allocated to the highest bidder. So, some of those great, smaller restaurants and lodgings probably won't be on those signs.
So, for the best travel experience, don't depend on these signs. Instead, check your travel apps, like Trip Advisor and Google maps, to find the best restaurants and lodgings.

Reduce travel stress
Submitted by Wanderlust AndiTraveling is stressful, and the stress doesn’t necessarily stop when you reach your destination. So make life easier by having the addresses you need on hand. Also, set the GPS in your phone for audible directions to get you where you’re going. Rent a car, unless you are somewhere taxis or public transit are easier to use, and when you rent, use a loyalty program to save time and paperwork. Check the weather too, to avoid surprises. Finally, allow yourself plenty of extra time.
Are you warming your car before driving? You could be fined.
