Missouri is a state of the United States of America.

Law

Missouri is unique in that they haven't even adopted the uniform vehicle code prohibiting pedestrians from soliciting rides while on the roadway. They have no state wide law addressing the solicitation of rides by pedestrians. Missouri is also one of the few states which allow pedestrians on the interstate.

Local Laws

The only city in Missouri that seems to prohibit hitchhiking is Mexico. Mexico, Missouri law states: Sec. 10-22. - Hitchhiking; standing on street to solicit employment or business.permanent link to this piece of content (a)No person in this city shall hitchhike, thumb rides or go upon the public streets and highways for the purpose of soliciting free transportation.

Experiences

I've hitched most major highways in Missouri and it is one of my favorite states. The cops won't hassle you and the people are friendly. As with Colorado, although it is a great state to hitchhike in general, there is a section that is difficult to hitch. This section in Missouri is Highway 36 and all points north/east of Cameron.

My name is Byron Motley and I have hitchhiked through many states in the USA and I rate Missouri as perhaps the most hitcher FRIENDLY state in the entire USA, the police spotted me on the interstate a number of times and they have never disturbed me!Hitching gets easier especially away from the large cities!
