> I pointed to the laws of two states which seem to say something different than what you just wrote. It’s because it’s a federal law, not a state law. See 23

  Here's the text for 23 U.S. Code §101: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/23/101 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/23/101 . I see nothing concerning pedestrians on highways. What I do see is an expansive definition of "highway": "(11) The term “highway” includes— (A)a road, street, and parkway; (B)a right-of-way, bridge, railroad-highway crossing, tunnel, drainage structure including public roads on dams, sign, guardrail, and protective structure, in connection with a highway; and (C)a portion of any interstate or international bridge or tunnel and the approaches thereto, the cost of which is assumed by a State transportation department, including such facilities as may be required by the United States Customs and Immigration Services in connection with the operation of an international bridge or tunnel." Given all the evidence I've given which shows that people do walk on a highway, and that it's legal, I would appreciate a stronger counter-argument than what you made. Since "highway" includes parkways, here are some people who walked/biked on the Blue Ridge Parkway: http://www.blueridgeoutdoors.com/go-outside/hiking/ten-years-later-walking-the-blue-ridge-parkway-again/ http://www.blueridgeoutdoors.com/go-outside/hiking/ten-years... . And here are people walking the Natchez Trace Parkway: https://natchez-trace.thefuntimesguide.com/road_walking_natchez_trace/ https://natchez-trace.thefuntimesguide.com/road_walking_natc... .
