Montana

--> For the Bulgarian city, check Montana (Bulgaria)

Montana is a state of the United States of America.

Western Montana is full of beautiful forests and even when you are stuck waiting, the scenery makes it OK.

Many of the non-interstate highways in Montana DO NOT PREVENT pedestrians, and are therefore suitable for hitching. However, the speed limit is quite high, so a highly visible spot is essential.

I rate the state of Montana among the friendly states for hitching!

Law

61-8-507. Pedestrian soliciting rides, business, or contributions. (1) A person may not stand on a roadway for the purpose of soliciting a ride.

As with most states, if you are hitching from the shoulder or berm of the highway, you are not committing a crime.

Federal Districts

Note:Some Federal areas in the US prohibit hitchhiking, such as in some National Parks or Scenic Byways.
