Feedback on overnight parking...
I will be soon taking a trip where it will be necessary for us to stop for the night, only to get a few hours sleep, and then move on to our destination. We will be traveling along an interstate. ...

I have overnighted many, many times at the welcome center on I77 in NC. Yes there is a sign stating no overnight camping or parking or something like that. I have spent the night right in front of the sign. There has always been many others sleeping both in cars, RVs, and trucks.
My theory is that the ordinance allows them to control the trouble makers but the officers don't care about travelers catching some rest. There are unsavory types that like to hang out and conduct business at rest areas, these are the ones they want to control.
