Rest-area overnight framing (lead with this):
Louisiana: LaDOTD lists its rest areas with truck space counts and 12-hour nighttime security but publishes no statewide overnight duration rule (LaDOTD Rest Areas). Mississippi: no official MDOT rest-area overnight rule was located this check — follow posted signs. Alabama: ALDOT frames rest areas as intermittent, short-duration safety stops; no numeric statewide cap is published and some sites post “No Overnight Parking” (ALDOT Guidelines for Operation §1-33 (PDF), Ala. Admin. Code 450-3-1). Prefer private chain lots for a planned 10-hour break. Not legal advice.
Louisiana (checked 26 Sep 2026):
The LaDOTD Rest Areas list shows the Slidell I-59 (Pearl River) Rest Area & Visitor’s Center at Mile Marker 1, southbound, with 27 auto and 6 truck parking spaces and 12-hour nighttime security. No closure was listed.
