Answer
It is a violation of State law for pedestrians to stand in the roadway for purposes of soliciting a ride.
While it may be tempting to hitch a ride when you’re running late for class or trying to save some money on gas, it’s actually against the law in most states to stand in the roadway and solicit a ride from passing motorists. So even if that friendly-looking driver waves you over, it’s best to just keep walking.
