Hi Query re a bit of a different slant to rest areas.
Was looking at the map t'other day & noticed a Rest Area marked off the side of the Motorway, in what I thought was a rather strange spot? http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/-27.60146/152.87914 When I had a look via Google, there is in fact a Rest Area, *but* it's a cycling Rest Stop on a dedicated bike way: https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-27.6011898,152.8786767,3a,75y,178.54h,89.01t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sVIpnHTqrHHjEV2t-f0vQpw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en, with apparently absolutely no facilities apart from a little bit of shade? I've had a look at the cycling wiki's but couldn't see any reference to cycle Rest Stop's? It appears on the map, & also on my phone on OSMAND+ as a standard Rest Area, which *could* be a trap for drivers planning a journey. Anybody have any thoughts on best practice here?
