In the [[United States|US]] state '''New Jersey''' (or as the locals call it, ''Jersey'') it is illegal to hitchhike on highways. This is provided by 39:4-5, which states: "Begging rides prohibited. No person shall stand in a highway for the purpose of or while soliciting a ride from the operator of any vehicle other than an omnibus or a street car."
A highway is defined as any way between the boundary lines open for the public use. This includes [[on-ramps]] and [[shoulder]]s.
