Highway Star

US v. Hill: The issue in this case was:

whether the stretch of Nider Boulevard between Shore Drive and Gate 4 of the United States Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek, located in Virginia Beach, Virginia, constituted a "highway" under Virginia law on August 10, 2004, the date of the charged conduct in this case.

It is, which required the court to affirm Hill's traffic offense under the Assimilative Crimes Act. The court based its conclusion on the fact that the roadway in question was open to the public and not limited to Naval personnel.
