Ahead of the Memorial Day weekend, when over 39 million Americans are expected to drive, Ohio authorities clarified rest stop rules. Sleeping in a vehicle is permitted at rest areas, but camping, leaving a vehicle unattended for over three hours, and parking on grass are prohibited. Local laws may vary, and a DUI arrest is possible if the engine is running or the driver is intoxicated.
