VDOT framing for the Virginia mountain half of this corridor. Not legal
advice. Posted signs still win.
Virginia (VDOT):
Overnight parking is not allowed at safety rest areas and welcome
centers; unattended vehicles may be towed at the owner’s expense
(VDOT Safety rest areas and welcome centers;
24VAC30-51-30). Prefer private chain lots for a planned 10-hour HOS
break. Follow posted signs.
West Virginia I-64 overnight rest area rules
WVDOT framing for Charleston approaches on concurrent I-64. Not legal
advice. Posted signs still win.
West Virginia (WVDOT / WV Parkways Authority):
No official WVDOT rest-area overnight policy page with a statewide
duration rule was located on this check. Secondary summaries for
Turnpike travel plazas treat overnight as permitted at published
plazas — still check posted signs. Overnight unknown for generic
WVDOT rest areas / welcome centers. Prefer private chain lots when a
planned 10-hour HOS break must be certain. Do not apply Texas
“overnight up to 24 hours” to West Virginia rest areas.
Kentucky I-64 overnight rest area rules
KYTC framing for the Kentucky half of this corridor. Not legal advice.
Posted signs still win.
Kentucky (KYTC):
Safety rest areas on limited-access facilities are limited to a
maximum of four (4) hours during any twenty-four (24) hour period for
the same person or group
(603 KAR 5:040).
That cap is shorter than a typical 10-hour HOS break — prefer private
chain lots for planned overnight. Do not use rest areas as trailer
relay / drop points (same regulation). Commercial service areas are
excluded from the “safety rest area” definition.
