Cleveland

To hitch through the Greater Cleveland Area (Cleveland-Akron-Canton) you will prefer to avoid the metropolitan centers and move, as much as possible, through more suburban areas. The best roads should be the long non-highways connecting important towns. Those on the highways have too little room to stop to risk picking you up, and drivers on short, residential roads will be few, uncooperative, and simply unable to take you any distance. Police tend to be unsympathetic.
