This can be interpreted differently(625 ILCS 5/1-179) (from Ch. If you stay off the traveled 95 1/2, par. 1-179):Sec. 1-179. Roadway. That portion of a highway improved, designed or ordinarily used for vehicular travel, exclusive of the road (ieberm or shoulder.  As usual if you stay on the shoulder or grass) berm you might be fine, but are legally not in violation of this code. === Law Experiences ===[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] had a State Trooper define "roadway" as the road itself plus 30 feet to either side which would make hitchhiking impracticable to say the least. Also Zenit has found Northern Illinois to be an enormous pain considering law enforcement; he has been stopped and told that hitchhiking is illegal on any kind of highway at least one time per day. If lucky, you might get a ride out of the cop's area, if not, you'll have to do some walking or keep your head down.
