Why are so many rest stops closed?
I'm heading west from NC on my way to Los Angeles along I-40. I've noticed that about 30% of the rest stops are closed. Why is that? Is it because of budget cuts, restoration, abuses by travelers? ...

On I-25 between Castle Rock and Colorado Springs, we used to have a rest area on both sides NB & SB. The governor said it was costing $300K per year to maintain them (I bet) so the state spend $500K to close them down. Good government thinking, huh?
Now you drive from Pueblo to Ft. Collins without a rest area!
