South Carolina is a state in the United States. Hitchhiking is okay, as long as you don't stand on the roadway. Fines may be high, so be aware.

Towns

Spartanburg

There is not much to do in Spartanburg, though the locals are very friendly. It is a poor town and quite conservative. There are some cool old, graveyards and abandoned houses to explore.

If you are traveling between Atlanta and points Southwest to Western North Carolina, Virginia, or EasternTennesee, you can take 81 north out of Atlanta until you hit 26 at Spartanburg. The first exit west on 26 after it intersects 81 will take you to two gas stations. There is some local traffic here, but also many people going north into Asheville. The locals are friendly, though conservative. They even drove Owen to Asheville just because they 'had nothing better to do' and treated him to beer.

Law

Article 25 Pedestrians; Rights and duties therof

Section 56 5 3180. Pedestrians soliciting rides or business.

(a) No person shall stand in a roadway for the purpose of soliciting a ride.

Definitions

Road - That part of the trafficway which includes both the roadway and any shoulder alongside the roadway.

While South Carolina doesn't appear to define "roadway" in a legal context, the definition of "road" appears to imply that "roadway" is a section of the "road" which does not include the shoulder. Because of the lack of a definition for roadway in South Carolina, it is advisable that one hitchhikes from off the paved portion of a road to avoid any trouble.
