Question for anyone with any knowledge on the subject of travel.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

Is it legal to trave on foot across the United States? I have been told that it was not, I disagree. Please post if you have any knowledge on this, thank you.

1. looks like its not the walking that s the problem

( provided you stick to public rights of way etc)

But the "sleeping under the stars"

2. You can walk on any public thoroughfare in the country (with

the exception of controlled-access roads aka freeways). Sleeping in rights-of-way is probably not an issue as long as you keep moving every day.

3. Why?

Who told you it was not legal? What was their argument? I think (or would hope) that walking should be one of the more straightforward means of transportation. I would think there would be much more discussion with other modes of travel, maybe like what the Amish do.

4. If you take a walk I'll tax your feet.

Seriously, it's legal to walk across the US, as long as you aren't trespassing on private property, or illegally on a public way such as a freeway.

as I go walking down freedom's highway
nobody living can make me turn back
