I hitched from southern Toledo where I-75 hits I-80/90. There are four large truck stops right next to eachotherAs with most states, each with different types hitchhike off the traveled portion of truckers and car drivers. The people were receptive to hitchhikers and told me that people pass through that truck stop looking for a ride about once a week. I had a sign the road and asked the guys as they entered the stores. One offered me a ride 5 hours in the direction I was going within the first fifteen minutes (but I had to wait two hours till he left). A woman at the store said she'd seen people have to sleep overnight because they didn't "look as friendly as you" and couldn't get a rideshould be fine.

''Hitchhiking is quite difficult in [[Ohio]] I have waited several hours on many occasions. The people of [[Ohio]] are scared of their own shadow, but the people who do pick you up are aware of the local attitude and strongly reject it. The people who have picked me up here are some of the coolest folks I've met. I got picked up once by a guy here who ended up giving me a ride in his plane and actually letting me fly the plane part of the way!'' [[User:Thewindandrain|Thewindandrain]] ([[User talk:Thewindandrain|talk]]) 00:11, 2 June 2013 (CEST) "Hitchhiking was definitely more difficult in [[Ohio]] then PA. I got more rides from people from other states then locals and allot of them think it's illegal. I was visited by a cop once when people called on me because i was standing on the road when i was not. But police people are mostly nice when they got to know you." [[User:Herog|Herog]] ([[User talk:Herog|talk]]) 2:07, 19 June 2014 (CEST) ''I left Detroit to get to Indiannapolis or Columbus (I-70), and ended up at Dayton. No people would stop to go to such destination. Tried Huber Heights and south of the crossroad of the americas. I ended up taking a greyhound bus from Dayton-Trotwood directly to Indianapolis. '' Alexandre, 02:13, 14 March 2015 I found hitchhiking in Ohio quite easy. I traveled west along 90 and found myself getting picked up by locals I n less than 20 minutes most of the time. My longest wait between ride offers was about an hour and that only happened once. I'm used did get approached by a police officer once while hitching by the entrance ramp to on the east coasttoll portion of the road but after talking with the toll booth attendant I was given permission to stay where I was until dark. Overall I found Ohio to be fairly easy to get through.(TheLoneBaker) == Cities ==* [[Cleveland]]* [[Columbus]]* [[Cincinnati]]* [[Dayton]]* [[Toledo (Ohio)]]* [[Yellow Springs]]
