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 a light not it's not just older people that need frequent stops. I'm 44 and I have to stop a few times every few hours. Pulling into gas stations and finding a place to turn around easy takes about 15 minutes out of the trip. Having to hold it can be a nightmare at times. I have noticed that there aren't many rest stops. If it's not a busy expressway I usually just pull off the road for a min and have my wife check our tow straps while I use our bathroom.
