"In relation to the above, our 'further investigation' lead us to a local police office, where we were presented by the clerk with (and I kid you not) a print off of the Michigan laws documented at:
"While digihitch is a very excellent resource and a helpful website, the fact that even a fraction of Michigan's law enforcement officers are basing their entire treatment of hitchhikers around information found on a third party website that has no legal standing says a great deal about this state's interest in providing a just and fair interpretation of the law; hitchhiking unfortunately remaining a huge gray area.

All considered I would suggest trying your luck, checking local ordinances where possible, and shooting for long distances distance rides to avoid the hassle. Happy thumbing!" -The TKL Hitchers
