        <div>When I had a look via Google, there is in fact a Rest Area,

              Agreed with Warin, the name key is for the name only not a
              description<br>
              like "Truck Parking"<br>
              <a
                href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only"

              <br>
              I would go one step further and use hgv=designated on the<br>
              amenity=parking node/way to indicate that trucks are
              preferred in this<br>
              parking area and remove "Truck Parking" from the name. If
              car's aren't<br>
              explicitly signed as no, then leave off the
              motor_vehicle=no tag.<br>
