Re: [RC] Southwest (Creede) Colorado - Laney Humphrey

Does that law mean that truckers hauling livestock can't stop in rest areas? Now that I'm thinking about it, I don't remember ever seeing any in rest areas.

Is there a law that horses can't use a rest area?

First, with only a few exceptions, the land on which Interstate highways and rest areas are built belong to the state, not the federal government. It is therefore the states that make the laws governing conduct on these lands.

Googled the following though I couldn't find anything for Georgia

Maintenance Manual of the Alabama Department of Transportation
3.10. SAFETY REST AREA FACILITIES
Chapter Six, MAINTENANCE SERVICE LEVELS.
Livestock, such as horses, cattle, sheep, goats, swine, etc., will not be permitted out
of vehicles and on the grounds of the rest area facilities at any time. Livestock must remain in the
hauling vehicle or trailer at all times. Even if the livestock remains confined to the hauling vehicle
or trailer at all times, the rest area attendant may decide that the vehicle should be moved out of
the rest area facility as soon as possible due to conditions such as weather, high use of the
facility, or distractions and odors caused by the livestock.


Since all the livestock mentioned are food stock, except horses, perhaps energetic Alabamans could lobby to have the word "horses" removed from the above code.
