The creation of rest areas can be traced back to the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, which established the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways. This legislation included provisions for the construction of safety rest areas along the highways to provide drivers with a safe place to rest and recharge during their journeys.
As highways were constructed in remote and previously lightly traveled areas, facilities for motorists were often sparsely located, making it difficult for drivers to find safe places to rest. To address this issue, the American Association of State Highway Officials released a policy document in 1958 that outlined site guidelines and national standardization requirements for rest areas.
Today, rest areas are a critical component of the U.S. highway system, providing drivers with a safe and convenient place to take a break during long journeys. Whether traveling for business or pleasure, rest areas offer a welcome respite from the road, allowing drivers to rest, recharge, and continue on their journey with renewed energy and focus.

I-4 Eastbound Rest Area
As of mid April 2023 it is a dump. Only commercial trucks can park there. It is hazardous in every aspect that one can reasonably think of. It did have running water. So, that's something.

I-80 East Rest Area - Mile 270
I like this rest area, stop here when coming through. Only problem I have is with the state employee in the pictures. He pretty much stands in the same 3 spots as pictured watching that no one parks next to his vehicle (cones blocking space next to it) as you can see I'm parked next to it and he's not liking that I have one of his spaces. As you can see he's on the watch waiting for me to leave. My tax dollars at work when in 4hrs all he's done was pick up a piece of paper and watch his vehicle. Nice job, wish I had one like it. Hour is 1745 and he is still standing in the same location. Where can I get a job like this. Leaving now.

What a beautiful rest area! Nice landscaping, informational signs, and a big area for overnighting in our rv. Great place to walk the dog and get some rest. 😁But, why in the world are the bathrooms locked this morning?!?😡

We were heading from Lake Havasu to Las Vegas and needed a stop to walk our dog Nugget. This is a very nice rest area with lots of room for cars, rvs, and trucks. They have quite a few picnic tables with covers which is nice in the summer.

Rest stop for truckers only, not passenger vehicles. Makes it awkward walking through parking lot and to even know where to park. Very weird

I didn't see any security or anyone. This is a truck only rest area. Don't park and sleep infront of trucks so I have to bang on your window to leave when I'm trying to get out.

Trucks to the left, tight space only 7 or 8 spots. cars to the right, open loop with more parking. Being open 24 is very nice and the bathrooms were clean.

Clean but seriously outdated and is an embarrassment to our state.
We need to spend some of those surplus tax dollars to update and upgrade. Including charging stations for EVs at every one!!
Wonder is our political leadership has been across state line and see the impressive rest areas along their interstate highways.

We headed to Orlando for a bowl game and I messed up the reservation for the RV Park. We arrived late and ended up staying in the rest area for the night. It was nice to have clean location with Security. Maybe next time I'll do better with my reservations.
