Not sure why, either. Last time I check, it just had Scenic Overlook and was wreaking havoc on my rest areas.

I'll make a change to the translation in the next day or so and Rest Area will go away from scenic overlook next time they pull the strings.

Any chance we can get an automatic update to switch all the existing Rest Area / Scenic Overlook (outdoors) to Rest Area (transportation)?

Then we'd have to find and fix all of the Scenic Overlooks. I think finding the Rest Areas will be easier as they will all be along significant highways.

Good point. I was not sure which would be more complicated - and it may be state or region dependent. I know in Michigan there is a MDOT list of "signed" rest areas.

WME still has Rest Area / Scenic Overlook listed, along with just Rest Area. The Places wiki shows Scenic Overlook / Viewpoint (not sure why)

en-US has Rest Area / Scenic Overlook and has for a while that I recall. Not sure about the other languages.

Sounds like we might get a good response by moving this part of the discussion (how to highlight scenic overlooks) to the Scripts forum.
