No Overnight Parking at Interstate Rest Areas
I know a number of states do not allow overnight parking at the state-run rest areas along the interstates. Has anyone been asked to leave one of these locations during the night? We've stayed in them...

I only know the law/rules in one state.. Sadly not all law enforcement officers know the laws they enforce.
Both per the STATE police and DOT (Department of Transportation) Overnighting in a MICHIGAN rest stop... allowed.
An awake driver is ... Something we like. an asleep driver.. Bad sceen.
Okay, which is it?
It's both. The law is still on the books AFAIK, but the rest areas are full of snoring truck drivers. The alternative is to have these guys parked on every on ramp in the state.
