→The Péage towards the East/South-East (Carcassonne, Narbonne, Perpignan, Montpellier) A61
'''Option 1'''
Take metro line B in the direction ''Ramonville'' to the very last stop. Then,*hitch from the park and ride parking lot, asking people to bring you to the péage or to the first service area, Toulouse-sud, 25 km further, or*hitch from the roundabout: turn left at the traffic circle just out the metro station. Follow the ''autoroute/Montpellier'' or ''Carcassonne'' signs to the entrance of the motorway; it's the first exit on the right of the second roundabout, or*get to the péage '''on foot''': the -péage is only 2km further than the roundabout.
'''Option 3'''
There is a small [https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/43.59418/1.39711 petrol station on the highway] in town, before the split towards either Andorra or Carcassonne. To get there, you can take Linéo 3 or bus 67 to Pont Rocade, walk across the highway and turn right immediately, or Linéo 2 to Castanet. There's not heaps of traffic, and much of it stays in town, but it's definitely possible to get rides in either of the major directions.
==== Towards [[Carcassonne]], [[Montpellier]], [[Barcelona]] ([[Spain]]) ====
Otherwise, the first toll of the highway is 30 minutes walking from there and offers higher chances.
==== Towards [[Foix]], [[Andorra]] ====
From the stop, walk in the direction the bus came from, through a small lot, following the sound of the motorway (you can hear it). After a while you have to climb over a small grassy knoll, and you arrive on a ''route nationale'', parallel to the motorway, and from the top of the hump you can see the toll gate in the distance. Walk along the ''route nationale'' to your right until you arrive at a roundabout. Go left, over the bridge that crosses the motorway, you're now on the right side, follow the motorway to the toll gate. If no cops are around and you feel lucky you can hitch from the inter-lane spaces (effective but illegal...) or otherwise go to the small service-area just behind (no petrol pumps but people do stop occasionally, and you can always wave a thumb at passing cars).
