It varies from state to state.

Some are legal for it to be done on the shoulder of the road. (green)

Others off the travelled part of the road (eg stand in grass). (yellow)

Others – completely illegal. (red)

Others – unclear. (grey)

There’s a map and guide on Hitchwiki indicating the status for each one. This comes from the main USA page on Hitchwiki.
