The best idea is in fact below it: highway=layby, if I understand it correctly as a place where you can *safely* get off the road to stop for whatever reason. But this extremely good idea has apparently been shot dead by a noer. There's a problem in wanting to make precise categories for everything. If a tagger doesn't find one, he won't tag. However, laybies where one can stop are important to know, instead of stopping in an unsafe place when a safe one exists 100 m further round the bend. And there are many ones worth the name rest_area much less than this one.
Cheers, André.
