yea, i’m more familiar with the view points (Interstate 5 near camp Pendleton) and that style of crap rest area near Castaic lake. Maybe the map stop on interstate 8 as you come into san diego. I have driven 300,000 miles in California, and those are the 3 I can name. they are usually barren dirty places you stop at only if you have to. all the SA/PA/ road stations are places you hope you can stop at here in Japan. They are usually very nice. I have stopped at 20 different SA/PA in Japan in the last month. I have been to.. 15 road stations (?) in 5 years. They are so different. > On Jan 25, 2017, at 11:08 PM, tomoya muramoto <muramototom...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > I just think Michi-no-eki is not "highway=*" category The Road stations are specifically made for driving tourists in the same manner as an SA/PA, so they are in the same category. Both SA and PA are in the road space, as should road stations. The wiki for rest_area shows some lonely picnic benches - not a row of shops selling food and souvenirs. the The new PA (a rest area) on the Kita-kanto is this: a little bit of grass, a vending machine, and a nice toilets. I would never consider the two road stations I linked to in the same class: 2 restaurants, a motorcycle museum, a souvenir shop, etc. Maybe this is because there is such a huge disparity between a rest_area in the US and a nice road station. The rest_area wiki page: > Some are set further back in the form of short loops of service road, and may > feature mobile fast food outlets, toilets etc. To me, the presence of shops and amenities vs a lonely toilet is a big difference, But t seems that gasoline is the dividing line between =services and =rest_area. perhaps the combination of: highway=rest_area + retail=road_station is a good solution.
