This excerpt is from the Standard Traffic Ordinances of Kansas Cities book which several cities in the Kansas City metro area (on the Kansas side in Johnson county only--including but not limited to Lenexa, Shawnee, Overland Park, Merriam, and Olathe) have adopted as of 2010:
Sec. 69. Pedestrians Soliciting Rides or Business.
The cops may not always mind, but citizens will call 911 on you at which point the cops will have to tell you to stop hitchhiking.
Cities in Wyandotte county (central/northwest Kansas City) are NOT illegal to hitchhike in. Wyandotte County has a unified government code which states:
Sec. 35-404. - Pedestrians soliciting rides or business.
(a)No person shall stand in a roadway for the purpose of soliciting a ride.
This is typical uniform code meaning you are within your rights to solicit a ride from the shoulder or berm of a road.
