Definetely Not A Safe Way To Get A Ride
Can you tell what this is? It's really tiny so it's hard to tell, but that guy I circled there is a hitch hiker! That's right- he was moving in and out of traffic at I90 and Jefferson at the top of the on ramp around 2:15 today.
Staff in
the Spokane Regional Transportation Management Center saw him on their monitors and alerted Washington State Patrol. Last I looked at the cameras, at 2:23 a trooper was talking to the hitch hiking suspect and hopefully removing him from the freeway. Bad idea dude.
