== Highway law about pedestrian pedestrians == Pedestrian are not permitted to enter or stay on the highway border in Quebec. As such, you may get a fine (more than 100$ Can). Most of the local policemen or provincial police are open-minded to the idea of hitching and understand being directly on the highway is the best way to get a ride. So most of them will move you to the next ramp without the fine. You can recognize a highway with its 100km/h speed limit and the blue and red number post. It is legal to enter and hitch on "routes", speed limit 90km/h and green number post.
The only illegal place to hitch in Quebec is on highways. Pedestrians are not permitted to enter (as you will notice by posts at the highway ramp entrance) or stay on the highway border in Quebec. As such, you may get a fine (about 120$ Can) if you are caught as a pedestrian on the highway border. Fortunately, most of the local policemen or provincial policemen are open-minded to the idea of hitching and understand that hitching directly on the highway is the best way to get a ride. So most of them will bring you to the next ramp, without the fine. You can recognize a highway with its 100km/h speed limit and the blue and red number post. It is legal to enter and hitch on "routes", speed limit 90km/h and green number post.
