If they're just walking, no harm no foul as far as I'm concerned.
Now, if they're staggering all over the place, that's a different story as they now pose a potential danger to themselves and others. In that case, a phone call is most definitely warranted.

I dont believe in calling the cops unless its life or death. Some of you guys sound like that nosey old lady that peers out of her blinds all day.

I have tried to call in drunk drivers and got no response or blown off....some bum walking down the highway is not gonna be a priority for anyone....just drive, driver.

5 minutes later, the Calvert County Sheriffs' Dept in MD had the aforementioned truck pulled over.Ke6gwf Thanks this. -
I was just talking to another driver, and this afternoon driving up i5, someone was walking down the shoulder, and just as he drove past, the guy went into a football crouch and dove under the trailer, and successfully committed suicide by trucker.
Ya, call and report pedestrians on the shoulder, it might have saved 2 lives today.
(the driver is expecting he will lose his job, even though there were a lot of witnesses to what happened, and there was nothing he could have done, and he isn't sure he can keep driving after having that happen anyway... ) -
I see people running across 495 around Largo MD quite often. There is no other way across unless you have a car (which they don't). They are going from the #### condos to the drug market off MLK, or heading back. A few times a year a couple of them get nailed by a car/truck/bus and the idiots on WTOP act all agast as if it's never happened before.
