the reason why a lot of highway rest areas use angled parking is to prevent drivers from driving in the wrong direction.
The angle of the parking spaces always faces the rest area exit, giving drivers only one choice of direction when they pull out of the parking space. While the direction of the exit might seem obvious to a lot of drivers, the angled parking is a failsafe way to ensure nobody makes the mistake of going back to the entrance instead.
