Oh, when you are driving, and you see a sign that says "last rest stop 50 miles," it means you are going to past the last set of public restrooms (toilets) specifically for people driving on the highways, not the last set of restrooms, period. There will be gas stations, truck stops, and fast food places before the next 50 miles, almost with certainty, unless your map shows a 50 mile bridge (a good reason to have a paper map).
Americans take a dim view of peeing off the side of the road. We understand emergencies, but the police may ask you what's up anyway. There are generally so many places to pull over, that unless you have a bladder infection, you should be fine (and I get a lot of bladder infections, and always manage to make it to a public restroom).
I really don't know what the convention is in Britain, but I know some people from France and Germany (those two countries, specifically), who have gotten into trouble for public urination in pretty secluded areas, mainly because they argued with the state police, or park rangers, or whoever, who told them to move along, by insulting America and its stupid laws.
