Rest area overnight stops.
Is it allowed to spend the night at a rest area? Hope this isn't a dumb question to ask.

Oh Yeah ??
where are they at
i never saw any when i crossed texas 'twice' last year
in fact the road side rests, where ancient, canopies over a tables
the drive was full of pot holes, and the rest area's nothing but 'stickers and burrs", hot as hell and no water, pitiful shade, and no way to get away from the 18 wheelers, glad i only stopped during the day
There is a difference between "rest area" and "picnic area" in Texas roadside stops. Rest areas have restrooms, water fountains, vending machines, and frequently kid play grounds, picnic areas do not. Both have covered tables. Neither have shade for your rig. Neither are campgrounds, just a place to stop. And they are there for truckers as well as anyone else needing to stop.
