Above-fold CDOT framing for the Colorado half of this corridor (the
common overnight-rules ask that wins Colorado SERPs). Not legal
advice. Posted signs still win.
Colorado (CDOT):
No official Colorado DOT rest-area overnight policy page with a
statewide duration rule was located on this check (same finding as
the Denver and Colorado Springs pages). Check rest-area status on
COtrip
(Rest Areas & Welcome Centers layer). Prefer private chain lots
for a planned 10-hour HOS break. Do not apply Texas “overnight up
to 24 hours” or Kansas’s 24-hour roadside-facility rule to Colorado
rest areas. Follow posted signs at each site.
Kansas I-70 overnight rest area rules
KDOT framing for the Kansas half of this corridor. Not legal advice.
Posted signs still win.
Kansas (KDOT / K.A.R. 36-32-2):
Roadside facilities adjacent to Kansas roads are available for rest,
relaxation, and historical information. Overnight camping is
permitted for one night only. Parking for more than 24 hours is
prohibited. Vehicles shall not be parked in a manner which obstructs
the roadside facility. Trucks and equipment shall use temporary
parking areas marked for that purpose
(K.A.R. 36-32-2 — Use of roadside facilities).
Prefer private chain lots for a planned 10-hour break when chain
depth is available. KDOT publishes real-time public truck-parking
availability at participating I-70 rest areas on
KDOT TPIMS.
Follow posted signs.

secondary to private chain lots when available (see rest framing
