Facilities such as restaurant/food court, low cost dhaba, telephone booth/ Automated Teller Machine (ATM), fuel station & minor repair shop, toilets, rest rooms for short-stay, kiosk for sale of miscellaneous sundry items, etc. are available for commuters on NHs.

Wayside amenities now form part of major highway improvement projects. Beside, National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has identified nearly 183 sites for setting up such facilities; out of these, land for 63 sites is available with NHAI and bids for 16 sites have been invited with due date of receipt in August, 2017 and bids for remaining sites are being invited shortly. A Project Management Consultant (PMC) has been appointed to assist in overall implementation of the project and to engage specialized firms for developing and operating these facilities. Further, Ministry grants access permission to the retail outlets located along the NHs. As per the licence agreement signed as part of granting such access permission, it is mandatory for retail outlets to provide toilet and drinking water facilities to the users.

No separate funds are allocated for providing such way side amenities, etc., on NHs.

The  Ministry  is  implementing  a  National  Highway  Accident  Relief  Service  Scheme (NHARSS) under which ambulances and cranes are provided to the State Governments to take the accidents'  victims  to  the  nearest  hospital  and  to  evacuate  the  damaged  vehicles  from  the  road accidents' site on the NHs. NHAI also provides ambulances at every toll plaza on the completed corridor of NHs.
