message: "However, in December 2008, after a change in the law, the only current official 'rest area' in the UK was created at Todhills, on the newly opened section of the M6 between Carlisle and the Scottish border."
I've noticed a few of these on the A1(M), though I don't remember the locations.  Most probably on the northernmost A1(M) stretch, though possibly on the South Yorkshire stretch.  I presumed these were built/opened before the road was upgraded to motorway, and may have met the criteria for being called "Services" on an A road but don't meet the stricter criteria for being called "Services" on a motorway and so are signposted as "Rest area".  Does this mean these are unofficial rest areas, or that this statement is out of date? — Smjg (talk) 23:11, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just discovered that Motorway service area claims there are three "rest areas" – the other two being Leeming Bar and Scotch Corner.  I guess those must have been the ones I was thinking of.  So it seems we have a contradiction.... — Smjg (talk) 22:43, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

message: Is there a reason why Truck stop (service station in the UK, travel center in the US) should not be merged into Rest area (service area, rest stop, service centre)? --Melsj (talk) 07:12, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

message: Rest areas may be uncommon in Spain, but I can say from experience that service areas or travel plazas are as common as in other countries there. Vernel222 (talk) 12:26, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
