Right of Way: Pedestrian's Duty: Standing or Loitering on Highway
The Wisconsin statutes define “right of way” as the privilege of the immediate use of

soliciting a ride from the operator of any vehicle other than a public passenger vehicle.2
If you find that (pedestrian) was on the roadway for the purpose of soliciting a ride
from the operator of any vehicle other than a public passenger vehicle, then it was
(pedestrian)’s duty to yield the right of way to a vehicle approaching on the roadway.
