Chernivtsi has no real bypass == Hitching in and around == If you're coming from the West, East or North and want to proceed in one of these directions, there is a complicated main road that connects two roundabouts in the West and the East of the center which are great jump-off points. It's possible to hitch on this road networkeven though it's within the city. For more details, but if see below. If you get dropped off in the centre and wish to hitchhike onward, there are plenty of buses and trolleybuses and local people can tell you which to take. Besides Russian and Ukrainian, Romanian and German are widely spoken.

[[User:CRCulver|Christopher Culver]] vaguely remembers hitchhiking south out of To leave Chernivtsi by taking towards Romania, find a trolleybus stop of the trolley bus #3 (ask any bus driver). From the center (Ulica Rosskaja), you could for example take bus #202 and ask your driver to advise you. Get off trolley bus #3 at the last stop, which is on and walk down the street that becomes the M19, and then walking road a few hundred metres down the roadmeters. There were plenty 's not a lot of trucks passing bytraffic, and [[User:Zenit|Zenit]] got two local lifts before a petrol station where he successfully asked drivers for liftsRussian truck headed to Greece picked him up.

== Hitching out ==
The road splits into the H10 towards Ivano-Frankivsk and the M19 towards Ternopil' at the village Mamaivtsi which is 8km further. Here you can find a great spot for going to Ternopil': a huge roundabout after which you can stand right before a railroad crossing where all drivers have to slow down if they don't want to wreck their car. Street lighting for dark nights inclusive.
