The two-line sabsection of the traffic code pertaining to hitch hiking roads: “No person shall stand in a road way for the parpeee of soliciting a ride from the driver of any ve hicle."

The word "highway", in turn, is defined as “the entire width be tween the boundary lines of every way publicly maintained when any part thereof Ip open to the use of the public for purposes of vehicular travel."
