  2. Don’t understand the hate towards the Administrator. It’s obviously an informational site that is likely to be imperfect. At least the information is available and the site is easy to navigate. Pay attention to the websites you visit so that you don’t complain to the wrong person. Good day.

  3. To the publisher and administrator of this website, note this: My recent post dated today, 11/11/21 has been removed by the publisher of this website. That post was to protect travelers using California’s highway. rest areas. All travelers’ using California’s rest areas should note this: Some are dangerous, many closed, many are filthy with no stools working and overflowing onto the floor. Publisher of this website note that you’ve been notified of this fact. You are at risk now, impart liability rest with the owner of this website for not allowing this upload to take place. Electronic evidence is now stored for future disclosure to the legal community. Please do the right thing by letting travelers’ know what to truly expect at California’s rest stops!

    • Maybe you should look more closely before posting such nonsense as this. Try clicking on the California link above and tell me your post was taken down.

  4. Is there a time limit to remain at a Rest Stop? My wife and I are traveling on I40 in a few weeks and wanted to stop to sleep for a few hours and then get moving on. Are there restrictions on sleeping in cars or RVs for a few hours?

    • I’m not sure I understand your request. Rest areas are simply places to get out of your vehicle, stretch a bit, use the facilities, then move on. They would be unrelated to hotels.

      • In most states, travelers like truckers, are allowed to stop and steep IN their vehicles, trucks, vans and most RVs as long as they remain in their vehicles except to go to the restroom. Most states restrooms are open 24/7.
        No slid outs, tents or sleeping on grass or picnic tables.
        This is done for safety reasons for those at the rest areas and for drowsy drivers so as not to be on the highway.
        Your answer seemed a little short.
        If I can find out this information then so can a website.
