Pennsylvania

General

Hitchhiking is generally well-received in rural areas of Pennsylvania. I-80 in particular has many good hitchhiking spots and is not heavily patrolled by police, and should be considered the optimal way of hitching across the state.

Law

Hitchhiking is illegal in the entire state of Pennsylvania:

Title 67 Transportation

CHAPTER 601. TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

601.11. Hitchhiking. The solicitation for a ride, commonly known as "hitchhiking," is prohibited, and stopping or allowing a vehicle to be standing while hitchhikers board is also prohibited.

Pedestrians soliciting rides or business - 75 Pa. Cons. Stat. 3545

545. Pedestrians soliciting rides or business.No person shall

(1) Stand on a roadway for the purpose of soliciting a ride.

NOTE The latter law is useless due to the fact that the former law completely prohibits hitchhiking in the entire state.
