The '''Point-du-Jour''' Motorway Services along the [[Quebec highways|A-40]] in [[Quebec]] is a huge Services including Gas Stations, Restaurants and Resting Area located in the median strip of the highway therefore receiving both Westbound (towards [[Montreal]]) and Eastbound (towards [[Trois-Rivières|Trois-Rivieres]] and [[Quebec city]]. It would reveal a great spot to switch drivers in matter to reach your destination.
People from [[Quebec city]] are accustomed to stop there after having driven more than 2h and before entering [[Montreal]] Island as well as people from [[Ontario]] often does the same thing after having crossed [[Montreal]] on a Eastbound voyage. It might reveal the right place to catch a ride that goes to one of the nearest inland town, for example [[Joliette]] (Exit 122) on [[Quebec highways|A-31]].
It would also be the right place to catch a ride that follows any of the [[Montreal Metropolitan]] Northern Crown By-Pass, the [[Quebec highways|A-440]] to [[Laval]] or the [[Quebec highways|A-640]] to the Laurentides.
On a voyage towards [[Montreal]], it is pretty useless to accept any rides that does not reach the city or a metro station from this Services.
