I think it is a good idea to close them down. I never understood why we have had them at all for the last 20 years. Exits with gas stations or restraunts are not that far apart, and if there is a need for a long stretch someone will setup a pay as you go porta potty and make a few bucks.

The only ones I can see that need to stay open are along I10. That is one lonely stretch of interstate.
I40 really doesn't need them as there are plenty of truck stops and gas stations.

I don't recall ever taking 8.
Either way, they need to keep rest stops with restrooms opened on those highways. At the very least keep rest stops without the restrooms. There needs to be a place for people to pull over when they are tired.

Obviously - you haven't driven across the Arizona desert.
Especially - with children in the car.
