"This report of the Highway Research Board records current practices in the development, operation, and maintenance of rest areas, and presents guidelines that past experiences suggest will produce, in most instances, generally acceptable fulfillment of motorist requirements. The selection of such individual items as spacing, location, size, parking facilities, buildings, convenience facilities, water supply, sewage disposal systems, and other items that experience has shown to be important, together with details of operation and maintenance, are discussed. Areas where existing information is inadequate and research is needed are identified."--Avant-propos.
