    Me and my three friends are traveling across the U.S. and wondering about hiking laws pertaining to streets?

    By HikingOn | April 20, 2009

    We know of the risks involved in hiking, however we cannot seem to find legal information about hiking next to highways and streets. We want to know:

    1: Is it illegal to use public highways and roads as a 'trail.'

    2: If so, what are the consequences of doing such.

    Note: We are NOT planning on hitchhiking.

      You wouldn't be able to hike along expressways in most places. But you should be able to hike along a regular state or US highway or a local street, since people are permitted to walk along side these as long as they are facing traffic.
