§ 21957 Hitchhiking Prohibition

• •You can't stand in the road to ask for a ride.
• •This is to keep people safe and avoid accidents.
• •If you need a ride, ask from the sidewalk, not the street.

If you stand in the middle of the street and try to wave down a car to get a ride, you're breaking the law.

The law says you can't do this because it's dangerous and can cause accidents.
