Rights to Travel

I was wandering what you guys think about if people have the right to walk down a shoulder on the interstate(NOT HitchHiking). I am a huge hiker and I cant always get to the forest, so the city it is. I thank you for any help.
Im tired of getting booted off the hwy by those blinking cars and big sunglasses.

Walking on the side so cars flow in the opposite direction of where you are going is smart because you can see them and get out of their way a lot faster if they swerve. When you walk with their flow, you have to keep turning around and looking. Also, the grass far off the shoulder isn't necessarily on the highway. Note the specific reference to 'pedestrian'.
