Legality question
Posted on 03/31/2004 4:05:54 PM PST by joebren
I can explain my idea more in depth later, but I need to ask a question first, concerning it:
Does anyone know if it's legal to walk along major highways, especially on the east coast?

Only if you have a banjo, I know it is not legal on interstate highways.

If major hiways include interstates, the answer is no.

I actually was considering planning to walk from my place in NY to Florida this summer over a 2 month span to promote the Republican Party views.. Sounds like it's not a legal thing to do though. :\
Oh well.

My sister and b-i-l walked the Applachian trail from Maine to North Carolina one summer. Just an idea.

Well, you could certainly walk and do your promo thing, just not on the highways. I'm sure that would be pretty bad for your health and boring, even if you didn't get run over.
But if you took the scenic route you could meet people and look in shops, I'm sure it would be much more fun, and you'd probably have a lot more influence on voters that way.

Heh, you must be young. If you plan well it could be a grand adventure. Fail to plan and it will be a friggin nightmare. Good Luck.

Hmmm... okay *lol* I was wondering! If you are serious, well why not? I would not walk on a highway, it's unsafe to begin with. What about riding buses all the way down and going to truckstops and such? Plan carefully though.

The Old Croton Aqueduct Trail goes along the Sawmill River Parkway in the Bronx/South Yonkers portion and I walk there frequently. Here in New York, many "Parkways" have walkways alongside for walking and (in one portion of the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn) riding horses!
Its perfectly legal to walk on most interstate highways, provided you stay on the grass shoulders. Hitchiking is legal in most states and you can get away with standing on the shoulder, but it is usually illegal to stand at an interchange, even in states that have legal hitchiking.
My opinion is that unless there is a pedestrian trail a la the Bronx River Pathway or the aforementioned Croton Trail, don't risk it. If not for legality, but for your own safety.

I remember that part of the Belt. That place is still there too. When you drive along the Belt, you can often see me walking the trail from my apartment to its end at the Caeser's Bay shopping center (the one with Toys R Us and Best Buy right before Coney Island). The Belt was truly one of Robert Moses's better works.

I have not been down that way in years. Looks like time to go down memory lane again like Joe Franklin.

My family and I did, back in 1936. Traffic was a bit lighter then.
