The legal status of hitchhiking in the United States is a bit of a difficult topic; laws and their enforcement differ greatly from state to state as does the information available online and in general knowledge. Many people (including police officers) believe hitchhiking is illegal anywhere in the US, sometimes you'll get away with holding a cardboard sign but not with holding out your thumb, and sometimes nobody will hassle you even if you stand right on the interstate. The specific articles on states will give you more information on this topic.__TOC__
In most states it's illegal to hitch from the interstates ([[highway|motorways]]) themselves (even though throughout the West the enforcement of this rule varies), but you can always stand at [[on-ramp]]s (highway entries) like in [[Europe]]; if there is a "No hitchhiking/pedestrians" sign, don't stand or hitch from beyond the sign. In some areas (such as certain towns or municipal areas) hitching is illegal everywhere, however, it is still allowed de facto. The police in a region may interpret laws related to hitchhiking differently, at times forcing a hitchhiker to choose an alternate route by walking or using other means of transportation. In most cases, though, hitchhiking is legal or tolerated as long as you are not on the interstate itself, where it is rightly considered a safety issue. There are also many limited-access highways (i.e. with on-ramps and [[off-ramp]]s) that are not part of the interstate system; these typically prohibit hitchhiking as well (other than at the on-ramp). == Culture ==
ItMany Americans have a limited worldview. (I can say this because I am one.) We think there are two places in the world: America and other places. Don's generally easier t waste your time explaining that "American" is an incorrect demonym. And get used to hitchhike around the West Coastour senseless system of measurement. In [[Oregon]] and [[Montana]], it It's not even prohibited by law to hitchhike right on interstatesa part of our culture.
Relatively quite Despite a few people in large number of immigrants all across the United States country, most Americans are profoundly religious. People who pick you up might inquire still curious about your religion. If you're not religiouspeople from different parts of the world, fascinated by foreign accents, try and eager to deal with it introduce visitors to American culture. Despite an undercurrent of xenophobia and racism in a positive way and accept rural parts of the difference. More often you will be picked up by really cool peoplecountry, and often dropped off exactly at the point Americans tend to have a pragmatic view towards foreigners: Americans might profoundly dislike your country of your destinationorigin, but they will rarely hold that against you as hitchhiker [[User:Guaka|Guaka]]'s experience shows, for example. Detours for hitchhikers are much more common here than in Europe due to cheaper gasan individual.
== Long vsRelative to other Western countries, people in the rural United States are profoundly religious. People who pick you up might inquire about your religion. short distance ==If you're going for speed over a long distance (3+ hours)not religious, then the best bet is try to stay on the interstates (designated by "I-##) instead of local highways. Try to stick to on-ramps that have truck stops, [[rest area|rest stops]] or any other reason for drivers to stop there (restaurants, [[petrol station hitchhiking|gas stations]], etc.) You can also look for rides at the truck stops themselves, but be discreet about deal with it as some in a staff or customers are rather unfriendly to hitchers positive way and will rudely ask you to leave their territory or call accept the police on youdifference. Getting dropped off on Despite a low-traffic exit is the gravest danger when hitching on interstates where the police are unfriendly level of religious intolerance much higher than in Europe, Americans tend to standing where you're visible have a pragmatic approach to the through traffic on the freeway. It can easily lead people of unfamiliar religious backgrounds: Americans tend not to long, long delays. Identify the last truck stop, major intersection (with a non-freeway), or rest area before judge you badly even if they might be suspicious of your driver's destination, and get off there rather than risking getting stuckreligion.
If More often you are only going a few hundred mileswill be picked up by really cool people, you can and often make better time on state or local roads. There are many more places to wait dropped off exactly at, and there is much more potential traffic. Most the point of the traffic on the Interstate system won't be able to notice you while on the on-ramp. Even if you are going long distancesyour destination, if you arenas hitchhiker [[User:Guaka|Guaka]]'t concerned about making good time then getting off the interstates can be a very rewarding s experience. Local highways and smaller roads will grant you a better picture of what local life is like in that areashows, and typically offer a greater variety of driversfor example.
In most states, such as [[New Jersey]], [[Virginia]] === Urban and [[New York State]] on the East Coast Suburban Short Distance ===If you are hitchhiking within a large metropolitan area and [[Nevada]] and [[Arizona]] in trying to get to another part of the Westcity, there are [[laws]] against hitchhiking that are possible it is best to stay on the interstate on-ramps unless you want to be circumventeddo a lot of walking. Most larger cities have interstates passing through them and often, the laws state that the hitchhiker may not "solicit a ride" in any way, i.e. showing a sign have one or more spur or a thumb to trafficcircumferential interstates surrounding them. The police could ticket you for ''loitering'' or ''vagrancy'' (the latter of which can be avoided These spur and circumferential interstates are designated by having at least a few dollars at any time)three-digit highway number with signs that look just like normal blue interstate signs. If the police passes and sees When hitchhiking on these roads, it is best to accept every ride, even if they are only going a hitchhiker walking or sitting by the side of the road without soliciting in any waymile, they may still stop as each exit you get to check IDs but technically they have no reason is closer to pull you over your destination and you are not required unlikely to identify yourself except if there is get stranded on any way that you could have done something unlawful. As a result, of these ramps due to the best result is to not use a sign or your thumb whenever an oncoming car looks like a police cruiser. The laws are enforced because amount of "traffic safety" reasons mostly but in reality police very rarely gives tickets to hitchhikers - they just check IDs for warrants whenever possible.
Especially in smaller towns An alternate method to hitchhiking within urban areas is to walk up to cars stuck at red lights and ask them in the countryside, the officer stopping person if you is likely to never can have seen a passport beforeride in the direction they are going. If that's your form This works best if they already have their window down, but usually people will roll their window down to talk to you if you stand in front of ID, bear with the delay caused, help the poor guy out by point out which is your name and your birth date and enjoy the confusion and the hilarious misconceptions that arisetheir car trying to get their attention.
Tourists who intend Another way is to cross into the USA by hitchhiking should note that the US immigration department will log that you have been hitchhiking, should they discover that you are. This log will be visible pay a small amount for public transportation to any guard who subsequently checks your immigration status, if drop you decide to leave and enter off outside the USA again, and may make city(check your entry back into the USA more difficult if it is not a hitchhiking friendly statemap/GPS).
== Car License Plate ==You may also wish to try asking for rides at smaller local gas stations, but you are unlikely to make as much progress doing this.
Every state issues its own specific car plates. For example=== Getting out of big cities ===You may find yourself in very sprawled out cities like LA or Phoenix, a car from Alabama will have be specifically [then try your luck on Craigslist! I (http://en.wikipediahitchwiki.org/wikien/License_plates_of_the_United_States Car license] tagged User:Nora) crossed the US and found a few rides on Craiglist, messaging people who offer rides and asking if they would take me for free. Probably works best as such. In some Statesa foreigner and a girl, the license plate will also show the county of residencebut is worth a try. This And maybe you can be helpful if you spot a car that might be going in the same direction as you. It might also be helpful to write down the license plate number 'pay' in case of foul play.stories or music!
If you are friendly, people who pick you up will offer to buy you food quite a lot. Additionally, a lot of people will throw you some bucks to eat. From change up to $100. An anonymous hitchhiker has been given $100 dollars twice, and they have been given $60 dollars several times as has [[User:Zenit|Zenit]]... If you are looking for monetary gifts, the key is the right type of answer when they ask, concernedly, what you do to eat - "Naw, we're pretty much all right, we got *some* money." (emphasizing the "some" slightly)- if they've asked this question and you answer this way you'll basically always get a friendly handout - for which you should thank them profusely, of course. :)[[File:ChaelUSwalking.jpg|thumb|350px|[[User:Chael777|Chael]]<small><sup>[http://www.velabas.com/ site]</sup></small> crossing a bridge in Oregon, August 2009]]=== Police ===
For vegetarians and especially for vegans traveling between citiesMany police in this country have arrest quotas, times can be hardnot to mention many police (not all!) are assholes. [[User:Zenit|Zenit]] for one has sustained himself mostly on chips and granola bars for weeks at That being said, you may encounter an officer of the law who is a rather enthusiastic about giving you a hard time . Keep in mind that even foreigners have rights, such as the right to refuse being searched. For good information about dealing with the Mid Westpolice, check out https://www.flexyourrights.org/
Once Being in a state which permits hitchhiking does not guarantee that the police will not harass you open your mind . Most police don't know the laws and will tell you it is illegal to hitchhike in that state. [[User:Thewindandrain|Thewindandrain]] argues with cops on a regular basis and refuses to stop hitchhiking where itis legal. He has been innocently arrested for this twice, there are actually many opportunities but has remained confident and never been taken to jail even after being cuffed and in the car and continuing to stand up for dumpster diving in urban areashis rights.

Note, however If you know the law in that dumpster diving is in a similar sort of gray area as hitchhikingstate, with local legality depending on the particular statedon's laws, and t be afraid to tell the prevalent attitudes of local law enforcement officers.police they are wrong!
Grocery stores Frequently when confronted with your response, law enforcement officers will react unprofessionally and occasionally aggressively and even in a discriminatory way if you are prime targets for food not their race ([[sad but true:trash:Trader Joe's|Trader Joe's]] or Starbucks are especially likely to white people will have an unlocked dumpstereasier time than blacks or latinos). They may curse, call you names, and has lots /or threaten to arrest you if they see you hitchhiking again and then leave the scene. This is usually a bluff. They may even cuff you then give you a ride out of organics)their jurisdiction. Grocery stores cannot sell packaged foods past Occasionally they may admit to their expiration datemistake and leave you alone. If you are uncomfortable and feel threatened by the officer, you may request to speak to his/her supervisor. Supervisors will show up to talk with you about the law openly and so throw them away still wrapped in dumpsters behind the storeprofessionally.
Another great place to dive === National laws ===The only nationwide law (Code of Federal Regulations) that prohibits hitchhiking is food distribution centers36 CFR 4. As they supply restaurants31 which states that hitchhiking is illegal on any property under jurisdiction of the Department of the Interior: National Park Service. This includes but is not limited to National Parks, National Scenic Byways, their food comes in bulk and they throw out their food sometimes days before National Recreation Areas. This law is often amended to allow hitchhiking at the expiration datediscretion of each park. Google Maps can help you turn up locations.

== Hitchhiking Books ==In most states it's illegal to hitch from the interstates ([[highway|motorways]]) themselves (though enforcement of this rule varies), but you can typically stand at [[on-ramp]]s (highway entries). That being said, understand that the ramps are still technically considered interstate property and are illegal for pedestrians to be on, although it is almost without exception permitted if you stand in front of the "no pedestrians" sign.
Rather than a genre of its ownIn some areas (such as certain towns or municipal areas) hitching is illegal everywhere, however, it is still allowed de facto. In most cases, hitchhiking books probably fit better in a genre of alternative travel books, is legal or tolerated. There are also many limited-access highways (i.e. with Jack Kerouac’s On The Road, Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods and Robert Pirsig’s Zen on-ramps and [[off-ramp]]s) that are not part of the Art interstate system which prohibit pedestrians as well. [[California]] is notorious for prohibiting pedestrians on many of Motorcycle Maintenanceits controlled access highways.
To Even in states where hitchhiking is illegal, the law is rarely enforced. Wyoming Highway Patrol reports that list in 2010, they approached 524 hitchhikers but only cited eight of fun and funny and moving and important books, we should add Colin Flaherty’s Redwood to Deadwood, a 53-year old dude hitchhikes across America. Again.them (note that hitchhiking is no longer illegal in Wyoming as of 2013!)
Redwood If the police pass you walking or sitting by the side of the road without soliciting in any way, they may still stop to Deadwood describes Flaherty’s hitchhiking trip across Americacheck IDs, but you are not required to identify yourself unless there is suspicion that you could have committed a crime. You may wish to hide your thumb or sign when a police car is approaching to avoid being hassled.
"''Before I tucked my thumb in Often, particularly close to major cities, the [[police]] will ask you for the final timephoto ID, I'd run but as long as you have one with wild horses.

Make new ones. Get tired Most of the time they will be polite when you come up clean, and exhilarated. Lost and found.

Book reviewer Janet Jay said Tourists who intend to cross into the book is [“the best USA by hitchhiking I should note that the US immigration department will log that you have ever read or even heard aboutbeen hitchhiking, should they discover that you are.

So she asked about If you decide to leave and enter the USA again, it. He said that was how he heard about may make your entry back into the USA more difficult if it too. So books hitchhike as well as peopleis not a hitchhiker friendly state.”]

'''The United States of America''' as , commonly called '''The U.S.A.''', or simply '''America''' is a country is divided up into consisting of 50 states; for . For the convenience of the common hitchhiker , these states are discussed in detail along with their capitals at the following in their individual pages (see below). The US is bordered by [[Canada]] to the North north and [[Mexico]] to the Southsouth.
Hitching, like everything else in America, varies greatly depending on what type of area and what part of the country you are passing through. In general you can get rides fairly easily if you hitchhike the right way; in fact, often you can find more than just rides, such as offers for free meals, invitations to homes and parties, etc.
== Police = Cars ===''Driving in the United States is similar to driving in Canada, but very different from driving in Europe. It is not uncommon for Americans to drive more than an hour each way to work, and 77 percent of Americans drive alone to their jobs... Most states allow people to drive unaccompanied once they have reached the age of 16.'' -[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driving_in_the_United_States Wikipedia: Driving in the United States] There are more than 250 million registered vehicles in the USA, the most of any country. Everyone has a car, and gas is so cheap that people drive everywhere. As a result there are a lot of roads and highways. Sometimes you may need to change your technique to accommodate unfamiliar infrastructure. Sometimes it can be hard to find a place with slow traffic! Although traffic is heavy, hitchhiking is also hard because nobody trusts somebody with no car. (Why don't you have a car? There must be something wrong with you.) It would help to look like a foreigner, but don't go so far as to wave a foreign flag around. Hitchhiking is not as common as in Europe and Latin America, so expect to have to explain yourself, possibly to the police. (See the section on police below). == Transportation system == === Interstates ===[[File:USHHlaws2006-interstate-map.jpgpng|thumb|350pxright|A map of the interstate system in 2006. ]]An 'interstate', also known as an '''expressway''', '''freeway''', or (confusingly) '''highway'''Overview over hitchhiking laws by state, is a large, multilane road that covers vast distances, and passes through major cities. If you aren't planning on going to the countryside, you probably won't need to stray far from the interstate system.<br> White Interstates are designated on maps by "I-..." and have road signs [http: Hitchhiking //hitchwiki.org/en/File:InterstateSign.svg#file like this]. Even-numbered routes run from west to east and are numbered from south to north. For example, [[I-10]] runs across the south from [[L.A.]] to [[Jacksonville, FL]], and I-90 across the North from [[Seattle]] to [[Boston]]. Likewise, odd-numbered expressways start with [[I-5]] along the west coast (Seattle to L.A.) and I-95 along the east coast ([[Maine]] to [[Miami]]). The main interstates have two or three numbers, as in I-8 or I-76. Offshoots or ring roads will have a preceeding digit, for example, I-295, which runs along I-95. == Methods for catching rides ==If you're going for speed over a long distance (3+ hours), then the best bet is legal to stay on the interstates. Highways are better for shorter or more senic trips. === Interstates ==='''Thumbing it on on-ramps''' is sometimes the best way to hitchhike the interstates.

A good way to avoid being kicked out is to greet everyone entering the building with you (such a friendly smile and give them a friendly nod, then ask them for a ride as they leave the building. This gives them time to become comfortable with your presence and prevents them from having the opportunity to complain about your solicitation to the employees.

''Haven't hitched extensively there, but where I have, the experiences have been unique. I've hitched Oregon to Mexico along the famous highway 101. I also hitched from Oregon to Chicago on i90 in the dead of winter. Lots of clothes for that one, and a warm place to retreat to at every stop. The most remarkable thing about hitching in the States is that you get picked up by REALLY interesting people. Not all the time. But our beloved weirdos are more common in the US than anywhere else I've hitched. Regardless of what you think about the States, it's easily one of the most interesting places to hitchhike, especially if you LIKE adventure.'' - [[User:Chael777|Chael]]
''Have hitchhiked moderately in US, about 9,000 miles(including ferries and train hopping). Its a diverse country so generalizing a state or even a county(as I have been picked up in the most conservative counties) would not be right. I have been picked up by really awesome people(some of them are now my friends), Friendly cops(who offered me water and money) to discriminatory cops(who just wanted to get rid of me), people who turned out to be gay(asked sexual favors), bored people looking for a good conversation(what you have to do is just listen and and ask question to acknowledge that you are listening), people who saw me as a curious and tired foreigner etc. It was a great experience and helped me learn a lot about the culture here. One thing I learned is that if you are having fun then you get picked up easily as compared to when you are not. My personal favorite states are [[Alaska]] and [[Missouri]].'' - [[User:Keep_trying|Tarun]] ''I hitchhiked over 30200,000 miles in 50 states of the United StatesUS, 19 states of Mexico, and while I have nothing to compare it to other than 8 provinces of Canada, I would say in general that hitchhiking it is easy to hitchhike in all those countries but some of the United States is easy and funmost difficult places are in America. Each state varies greatly in geography and ease of hitchhiking. In the south, for example it is easier to hop freight trains since the hitching is so difficult. My personal favorite states for travelers are [[Colorado]], [[California]], [[New Mexico]], [[Oregon]], and [[West VirginiaArkansas]]. I have hitched alone, and with numbers of other people. Hitchhiking with two people or large equipment like a bicycle or kayak seems to give shortest waits. I would rank hitchhiking as a slightly more risky activity than cycle touring on windy highways with no shoulder. These days I prefer to ride freight trains and motorized bicycles, and I recommend you do the same.'' - [[User:Thewindandrain|Thewindandrain]] ''I hitchhiked from Panama to the US, intending to go through the whole of the US by hitchhiking with my little brother. I cannot recommend to hitchhike in pairs. It takes _days_ to find rides. We looked like regular guys, did 20k+ miles in more than 10 countries. If you do it, do it alone.'' - Summer '14 ''I crossed the US from Boston to San Francisco the southern way. The north east is tough, prepare for some waits and looks as if you were not worth anyone's attention. Luckily it gets better soon! Texas was the best state for me, lots of rides even from women, and basically no waites. Also California is pretty good to hitchhike, though more tourists. To all girls - it's definitely safe enough in my opinion, though I was asked for sex a few times by people not understanding hitchhiking much. And in general - for me waites for longer than in Europe (when alone I have to hardly wait longer than 10 minutes ever), but still the longest wait during the whole trip were ~2 hours at a bad spot.'' - [[User talkuser:ThewindandrainNora|talkNora]]) 04:42, 28 October 2012 (CET)
