Hi all! I have lived in a few different places over the years. I used to live in a small college town in rural Minnesota, where people usually hitchhike with no problem. After I moved to upstate New York, I was warned by my coworkers that NY is probably not a good place for hitchhike due to personal safety reasons. As I plan to move to Roanoke next year, I wonder if hitchhike is safe in Roanoke? What would you do if strangers offer you a ride? (in bright day light.) Thanks and I appreciate your thoughts!

I certainly did my share of hitchhiking when I was young (foolish & lucky) and I’m certainly not a paranoid person now, however, I would recommend against doing that today regardless of the location which has little to do with just crossing paths with the wrong person, It just takes one!

Not recommended here or any other place in my opinion.

The old days are gone.

Even then, I would frown against it.

And it goes both ways. Be careful who is picking you up, be careful who you are picking up.
