New Jersey
Revision as of 11:05, 30 October 2006 by 70.111.112.170 (talk)
The Law In New Jersey (or as the locals call it, Jersey) it is illegal to hitchhike. This is provided by 39:4-5, which states: "Begging rides prohibited
No person shall stand in a highway for the purpose of or while soliciting a ride from the operator of any vehicle other than an omnibus or a street car."
Enforcment of this law by the police is very uptight. If you are stoped by the police in this state they will ask you for ID (as always) and probobly just send you on your way. So remember: While hitching in NJ you have two options: walk through the state (it is a very small state) or every time you see a white car, drop the thumb and start walking (and fast).
