assistants. Not live lot cameras.
California SRRA overnight framing (lead with this):
Safety roadside rest areas — max eight (8) hours in any twenty-four
(24) hour period in designated spaces; camping / overnight unlimited
is no (21 CCR § 2205; VEH § 22520.6). Do not apply Texas “overnight
up to 24 hours.” Prefer private lots for a planned 10-hour HOS break.
Elkhorn Rest Area (I-5 SB near Sacramento) posts the same statewide
8-hour rule — confirm open status and signs.
Sacramento freight aims early at I-80 Exit 85 Pilot Dealer #879 /
Sacramento 49er Travel Plaza (275 public; paid controlled parking
from $20 / 24h on the operator parking page), I-5 south Love’s #538
Lodi / Flag City (90) + Blue Beacon Flag City wash, I-5 north Love’s
#652 Williams (88), CA-99 Sac Valley / STP (about 35–51 overnight),
and US-50 Mayhew gated yard (hourly / daily / weekly / monthly). No
Love’s and no TA/Petro verified inside Sacramento proper on this
check. Confirm with the operator.
Above-fold Caltrans / CCR framing for Northern California approaches
(same statewide rule as other CA pages). Not legal advice. Posted
signs still win.
California (Caltrans SRRA / 21 CCR § 2205):
Safety roadside rest areas and vista points — vehicles shall not be
parked and persons shall not remain for more than eight (8) hours in
any twenty-four (24) hour period; park only in designated spaces
(21 CCR § 2205;
Justia — CCR Title 21 § 2205).
Overnight unlimited / camping-style stays are no for planning.
VEH § 22520.6
makes engaging in activity prohibited by rest-area regulations an
infraction. Prefer private lots for a planned 10-hour HOS break —
California’s 8-hour rest limit is shorter than a full federal
10-hour reset. Do not apply Texas 24h.
Elkhorn Rest Area (I-5 SB near Sacramento):
Published SRRA on the Sacramento I-5 approach with truck / long-vehicle
spaces and posted 8-hour framing on secondary sources this check.
Confirm open status (periodic closures have occurred) and posted
signs before you divert. Occupancy unknown.
