Not the busiest service station. The one's closer to Istanbul are probably way busier. It had maybe 10 cars and 4 trucks on a tuesday afternoon. But it still works.

Got dropped here 2016 on way back to Sofia.
Nice spot with a lot of space to stop, at the day almost no traffic so even easier. No direct shade.
Nowadays they added one more line to highway and cut the bushes/trees around so even less shade possible.
Few police motorbikes passed by, they took, all of them, the right turn.
They noticed me, started standing up on their bikes while looking at me, but since they were driving too fast, they were unable to pull over - so I wasn't checked.
Got picked up by truck driver quite fast, but he wasn't going much further on highway, only nearest city exit.

Gas station is currently being renovated, but it is not indicated so a lot of cars still stop. Also a restaurant and truck stop.
A lot of fields and abandoned buildings where you can easily sleep if you are stranded at night, like I was.

Horrific spot to get stuck. Traffic on the D100 is sparse and getting to the E80 (on this map indicated as O-3) is difficult as it is very rural.
I eventually had to walk about 25km to get to the gas station on the E80 to the northwest of here. Only got one ride along the way that took me 2km.
