Editing Rest area (section)

====Other types====
Rest areas without modern restrooms are called ''''waysides''''.  These locations have parking spaces for trucks and cars, or for [[semi-trailer truck]]s only. Some have [[portable toilet]]s and [[waste container]]s. In Missouri these locations are called ''''Roadside Parks'''' or ''''Roadside Tables''''.

The most basic '''parking areas''' have no facilities of any kind; they consist solely of a paved shoulder on the side of the highway where travelers can rest for a short time.  A '''scenic area''' is similar to a parking area, but it is provided to the traveler in a place of natural beauty.  These are also called ''[[scenic overlook]]s''.
