In 1982, two rest areas along I-80 were closed due to chronic use for illegal activities. The rest area in Lodi, next to westbound exit 63, closed on June 30, 1982, on request of the New Jersey State Police. Local lawyers noted that an uptick of summonses were given at the rest area, including one motorist cited for not using parking lights. The State Police decided that it was not worth patrolling as it was an unattended rest area. The rest area at Roxbury in Morris County closed in October 1982. Opened in the 1970s, the borough noted that it was impossible to control the activity going on at the location, including public intercourse, alcohol and drug parties, theft and lewd acts. However, citing numerous accidents and the need for a place for truckers to be able to rest, the stop re-opened on August 14, 1991, for trucks only.
