The re-open the rest stop thing, for any state, is a no brainer and necessary, imo.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure there will still be penny-pinching cops because that's the way our budget works. Y'all in NC pay a much higher sales tax (7,75% versus 5%), a higher petrol tax, higher cigarette taxes, but I guess part of the tradeoff is somehow more gov't services and lax enforcement because the counties can find other ways to raise revenue.
My guess is that rural interstates (I-81, I-64) and US routes with limited-access highways (scattered portions of US 29, 360, 460, and others) will get the uptick. Granted, I pretty much treat those as almost derestricted anyway.
