Description:

Rest areas are an important part of our highway system, particularly on the interstate system. This report presents the findings of an extensive investigation to determine requirements for rest areas, with particular emphasis on comfort stations. Many sources of information were used in the study. Officials in other states were visited and surveyed, rest areas were inspected, comfort stations within the states operated by other agencies were visited, and modular restroom manufacturing facilities were visited. Rest area surveys were conducted, district maintenance personnel were consulted, and complaint letters received by the department were reviewed. Accepted design procedures for determining number of fixtures are presented. An extensive appendix is included, which contains detailed information on the surveys and interviews. Future reports will include specific recommendations.
