__NOTOC__
== Hitching out ==
=== North towards [[Dijon]], [[Paris]] {{E|15}} ===
* You can stop at the traffic lights on the bridge Kitchener-Marchand near Perrache. It can be better to write "Péage" (toll) or [[Villefranche]] (and then, stop at the toll or before.)
* Found a [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Rue+du+Professeur+Dep%C3%A9ret&daddr=dijon&hl=fr&geocode=Fb0sugId0K9IAA%3BFe0n0gIdFPdMACl1lv3vjJ3yRzHQWBSzNM4JBA&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=0&sz=13&sll=45.772073,4.790897&sspn=0.05879,0.154324&ie=UTF8&ll=45.771557,4.790294&spn=0,0.002411&z=19&layer=c&cbll=45.771695,4.790451&panoid=WUVigLDlgfvZbSU7ADGAzA&cbp=12,353.24,,2,1.55 hitchhiker on Streetview!] (please someone make a screenshot before it disappears :) - Entry to A7 at Avenue Victor Hugo, looks like metro Valmy is closest, and between that station and the motorway entrance (about 1,5 km) there might be some more options.
* The bridge close to metro Valmy is also really good.
* You can go to the petrol station Bruyéres-Passy on the A6 North. This is a good option because it puts you already north and out of Lyon, at a petrol station right along the motorway. To get there take the metro to the stop ''Gare de Vaise''. From there catch the bus number 21 (Any bus with the number 21 will do, as this is the beginning of the route) and get off at the stop called ''Parc Sans Souci''. After you get off the bus continue walking in the direction the bus leaves (as if you were chasing it after you get off!) After about 50 meters you will hit a street called ''Rue Sans Souci'' and turn left. Continue walking following the road about 10 minutes, then turn right onto a road called ''Chemin de la Bruyere''. You should see the petrol station on the left after the Harley Davidson Warehouse/Store. You'll need to jump the fence to get to it. The petrol station is right near a big store called Metro which you can use as a landmark if you need to ask for directions.
=== South towards [[Orange]], [[Nîmes]], [[Marseille]], [[Saint-Étienne]] {{E|15}} ===
* On ''Quai du Docteur Gailleton'' near ''Rue Franklin Roosvelt'' there is a bus stop which makes a great place for cars to pull over. It is very close to metro stop ''Ampère Victor Hugo''. There's plenty of traffic heading to [[Valence]] and [[Orange]], which is a good place to continue further East or West along the coast. Hitchhike on the left lane (cars on the right lane will then turn right...) a bit under the speed camera. <<br />Quite fast you can get a ride to nearest [http://maps.hitchwiki.org/?lat=45.6504383704269&lng=4.838533401489258&zoom=15&trip=0&view=0 petrol station], which is situated 12km south - just try hitchhiking with sign "A7 - 12km sud".
* You also might want to try from Square Julien Gras.
* Just in front of the 'Prison St-Joseph' on 'Quai Perrache' you can stand on the white-striped space between the continuing street and the lane that joins the motorway.

** A42 – [[Genève]]

There's one bus going to ''Communay'', the closest village, the bus #179 From "Rond point Darilly" (Métro "Parilly"), but it goes 7 times a day on workdays and 4 times the day on week-ends. there's several stops in the village. You can check out the timetable [http://www.rhone.fr/file/idocumentsattaches/transport/lr_ligne_179.pdf here].
=== Getting onto A42 - Direction Bourg-en-Bresse, [[Genève]], [[Germany]] ===
Bus 171 will take you to the village of Montluel. It runs around every hour (time table from the [http://tcl.fr/index.asp?page=horaires&etape=3&Date=2010|03|27&Line=171|Pont%20Guilloti%E8re%20-%20Cr%E9pieux%20Les%20Brosses%20(Montluel)|16|tcl171|Pont%20Guillotiere%20RD%20vers%20Crepieux%20Les%20Brosses|Crepieux%20Les%20Brosses%20vers%20Pont%20Guillotiere%20RD|1|Bus&DateFinBases=2010|5|1&DateMajBases=????|??|??&StopArea=1467|tcl5046|H%F4tel%20de%20Ville%20-%20Louis%20Pradel|Lyon%201er&submit=Valider&Direction=1 tcl.fr]. Attention, the bus stop for "hotel de ville" is actually on the banks of the river Rhone. From the hotel de ville (the actual building) walk towards the river (east) to find it. The ride costs 2€.
In Montluel, go down at the train station. (The bus trip takes 50 min) Then walk direction Pérouges, turn right to direction of Niévroz. You cross under the railway and over the motorway. Looking to the left you see the petrol station you are heading for. The whole way to walk takes about 10-20min.

=== East towards [[Chambery]], [[Grenoble]], [[Geneva]] {{E|70}} ===
There is an [[on-ramp]] in Lyon where you can hitch straight onto the motorway to Geneva (A43/ E70). There is a roundabout and a bike-lane where cars can stop for you. Take the metro Line D to Mermoz and walk to Rue Lionel Terray. You'll find a sign for [[Geneva]] here (see also a [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=nl&geocode=&q=Bron+&sll=45.688914,4.886169&sspn=0.505556,0.883026&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Bron,+Rh%C3%B4ne,+Rh%C3%B4ne-Alpes,+Frankrijk&ll=45.730844,4.887159&spn=0,359.997253&z=19&layer=c&cbll=45.730349,4.887796&panoid=18XTMoZRWgo7hU2KAFWmew&cbp=12,78.29,,0,12.14 Streetview]).
Tell them to drop you off at the gas station in St. Priest (Station service in french)and get a ride from there.
