The definition of roadway in this context may be open to interpretation by the police because it is not specifically defined in the same section27-49-212. Roadways.In all sections (b) “Roadway” means that portion of the vehicle code where roadway is defineda highway improved, it is defined as "that part of the road designed , or ordinarily used for the ordinary flow of trafficvehicular travel."
'''NOTE:''' [[User:Thewindandrain|Thewindandrain]] once asked a police officer how they defined roadway in Arkansas since it wasn't mentioned in the statute book. He said roadway includes 12 feet from the paved portion of the road. While the officer was likely making this part up, note that roadway seems to be open to interpretation in this state.

No person shall stand in a roadway for the purpose of soliciting a ride from the driver of any private vehicle.
Because the definition does not explicitly mention the shoulder, it is probably best to hitch from the grass and not on the shoulder of the road.
