* '''M6 to Dublin'''
Since 2010 there is the M6 highway between Galway and Dublin. So it is maybe better to find a better spot where you can hitch the cars going to this highway. I myself hitchhiked If you find a car to Dublin hitchhiking on Dublin Road, but my driver told me that I was you will be lucky that he was going this way , because now, not much people go this way if they want to go to the M6 to Dublin. Morris roudabout could be better.
Go to the Morris roundabout which is beside the dual carriageway (N6). There is space after the roundabout to hitch a lift and even a petrol station to ask drivers for assistance. Bus no. 3 goes in this direction.
I (François Gobert, French) hitchhiked on this same road on Oct-2015 and got picked up in 10 minutes! Walk a bit further after the ESSO petrol station and start hitchhiking just when the insertion line ends up! Good spot!

If you're feeling lazy, catch bus no. 1 from Eyre Square - stay on the bus going through Salthill and get off once the bus turns off the coach road. From here it's about 5 minutes walk to where the bypass meets the old coach road, which is the ideal spot for hitching. If you're lucky, you'll get a lift before you even get there.
There is also a good spot to hitch where Barna Road cross Ballymoneen Road, after Salthill.
If you don't take the bus, it's one hour walking from Galway.
