The US state of Kentucky is a fairly easy state to hitchhike through and out of. Most cities in Kentucky only hit major freeways in a few spots, which makes high-traffic on-ramps easy to find. The drivers in the area are generally nice, even if they don't pick you up they will acknowledge you. Expect to wait 1 to 4 hours.

Sticking to smaller highways in Kentucky will net a clean cut looking young man or woman 2-3 rides an hour, though most aren't going far.

Law

189.010 As used in this chapter: (10)Roadway means that portion of a highway improved, designed, or ordinarily used for vehicular travel, exclusive of the shoulder or berm.


As usual, stay on the shoulder and you aren't breaking the law.
