ive seen those signs but not in Washington. That state seems to be pretty friendly to hitchhiking.

Also, I dont believe there to be any stat e law supporting that sign. It might mean that you at not llowwd to hitch on the actual freeway. Not the ramp.

I've seen those in Oregon as well. I've heard that you're good as long as you don't walk past the sign but I would imagine it's one of those things where enforcement depends on the individual cop that stops you and whether they've had their donut for the day.

oregon is legal to hitchhike on just about any highway/freeway, i've done it all my life, you just gotta stay behind the white shoulder line. washington though, i've always heard of people getting fucked with for hitching in washington...

I've never seen a straight up pictoral sign like that but I've seen a lot of freeway entrances with signs prohibiting pedestrians (and often any other non-motorized method of travel). My understanding is that you'll be fine as long as you don't walk past the sign, but I've never actually tested that out, so your mileage will vary.

You're right, I just realized I saw it in Vancouver, WA and misremembered it as Oregon. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

lol, I've never seen one of those before. I lived in WA for a year on the Olympic Peninsula. I hitched multiple times weekly out there and never got hassled! :D
