What's New in State Lines

2026.2

February 16, 2026

This is the most significant update of State Lines in a decade - every data field has been updated, double-checked, and verified to be current as of early 2026. Fields that are no longer relevant or difficult to update have been removed - such as many default state speed limits and automated traffic enforcement laws. State Lines is a personal passion project that has been maintained in the App Store for over 15 years, and takes a tremendous amount of time to manually research and update. This app was first released in 2010, pre-dating the era of in-app subscriptions - so the app only generates income from new app sales. If you want to keep free updates coming - please do tell your traveling friends about the app. This is the best way you can support this project and keep updates coming!

Great Update

Thanks for all your effort to update this app. It provides wide ranging information which is useful to mobile travelers. Fuel and state sales taxes are especially beneficial.

Thanks for your effort to keep this app going.

Because You Say It Doesn’t Make It So

✓ I understand it is time consuming to proved accurate information in your app, but as a purchaser of your product it can be costly to me when you abbreviate the information.

Your app says Ohio’s overnight rest stop rule allows for a max 3 hr stay. That’s not right based on my 60 years living in the Buckeye state and a little online research and a chat with a nice Ohio State Trooper at a rest stop off I-70 E near
the Indiana/Ohio state line.

There is no rule on how long you can stay at an a rest area in Ohio. The
closest info found is a maximum 3 hr limit for an unattended vehicle.

However Ohio allows any occupied vehicle to stay as long as it takes to
get rested to resume driving safely.

Because continuing to drive any vehicle when your tired is dangerous,
I’m glad I fact checked your app info. We boondock end from about 7:30
pm to a little before 8 am the next morning. No problems from authorities or
our big rig neighbors.

I’ll keep the app because I paid for it. But I’ll due my own fact checking.

Too bad there’s no way to submit updates to you.

Useful app.

The app has been extremely useful. The only thing I believe that it is missing is stop and i.d. states.

Needs some updates

I’m not sure if you can totally trust this app but it’s a good guide. Indiana has been legal to buy alcohol on Sunday for a couple of years now.

Great app

Pretty much everything we need to know traveling across the country. Please add state gun laws, that would make it perfect. Simple and easy to use.
