They're understandably none too happy when they get to a rest area that should be dedicated to them for some shut eye only to find it full of caravans or to have caravans making noise (esp. Generators) which doesn't allow them to get the sleep they need. Consequently, its would be good to have a distinction in the data or intentially avoid adding the truck rest areas if all you wanted was light vehicles. :)</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I would still class these as highway=rest_area based on them meeting the criteria of "A rest area is place along a road, usually a motorway or dual-carriageway, where a driver can stop to have a rest."</div><div><br></div><div>If signposted for truck drivers, then I'd add hgv=designated per access tagging <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access</a> and if other vehicle users can't access them then tag those as no (I prefer not to use access=no + hgv=designated, but in this case it might be best to exclude all other users apart from hgv).</div><div><br></div><div>Does this sound workable?</div><br></div></div>
