* '''From near the centre''': 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'', but you can walk there easily from anywhere near the centre. Getting there is very easy, follow the Rhone south on the western bank. It's a big boulevard that eventually turns into the A7 highway. When you see the blue signs (highway colour), you're there. <br />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 12 km south - just try hitchhiking with sign "A7 - 12km sud".<br /> Having a sign is warmly recommended, as the traffic is very divergent from there.
:''I don´t recommend this place, since it´s not easy for the cars to pull over if they are going on the very left lane and there is no place with good visibility, and those, who are going on the right lane will turn right away. I waited hours and then went to Musée des Confluences and got a ride in a few minutes. It´s a way better option'' March 2014. [[User:TomasLT.|Nykstukas9]]
* '''From Pont Pasteur''': You have to take the tram T1 direction Debourg, and get off at the stop Musée des Confluences at a junction of the Pasteur bridge, where you have a small BP petrol station. There is a bus stop on the direction of road entering the highway - plenty of space for the cars to pull over. Since there's a traffic lights, cars are not driving fast. Usually working pretty good, great visibility and relatively far from the centre (thus, most cars are leaving Lyon).

* You also might want to try from Square Julien Gras.
