MoDOT framing for the Missouri / St. Louis end of this corridor. Not
legal advice. Posted signs still win.
Missouri (MoDOT):
Overnight parking for travelers resting in their vehicle is generally
allowed at MoDOT rest areas / welcome centers / truck-parking sites;
recreational camping is not. MoDOT has not published a statewide
maximum-stay hour cap like NDOT 10h or TxDOT 24h on this check
(MoDOT Rest Area Guide).
Prefer private chain lots for a planned 10-hour HOS break when certainty
matters. Follow posted signs. Do not park on ramps or interstate
shoulders.
Illinois I-55 overnight rest area rules
IDOT framing for the Illinois half of this corridor (most of the
St. Louis–Chicago spine). Not legal advice. Posted signs still win.
Illinois (IDOT):
92 Ill. Adm. Code 533 caps rest-area stays at three hours; sleeping
overnight on the grounds, benches, or in the building is prohibited.
IDOT has stated that, given truck-parking shortages and HOS rules,
trucks are generally allowed to rest overnight in vehicles at rest
areas — the intent is to stop multi-day living at sites
(92 Ill. Adm. Code 533;
IDOT public statements summarized in regional press). Prefer private
chain lots for a planned 10-hour break. Do not uncouple trailers or
occupy more than one marked space. I-55 public truck-parking expansion
projects (Coalfield, Rail Splitter, Funks Grove) are documented on
IDOT Truck Parking
— confirm current stall counts and closures on-site.
