Both of the options for [[Kristiansand]], [[Stavanger]] can also be used to go towards [[Bergen]]
Oslo
,→West towards Bergen, or southwest towards Stavanger and Kristiansand
The road to Bergen diverges from the southwestern road at Sandvika. If your ride is going the other way, just get off at one of the gas stations before Sandvika and keep hitchhiking from there.
'''Option 1 - Onramp at Skøyen -'''
This option is fairly close to the city centre. Take a train or a bus to (Skøyen), and walk southwest towards the highway. There is a big roundabout a a little closer to the hightway, and a 100 meters further down the onramp you'll see a bus stop with plenty of space to pull over. This is a favorite spot for many hitchhikers heading west. From here option 2 is also close by, a gas station that is just 600 meters down the highway.
'''Option 2 - Gas station at Maritim -'''
Take the bus 31 or 31E to the stop (Maritim) and walk for 50 meters to the gas station close by. The station does not have too much traffic, but it is fairly easy to hitch a ride to the next gas station on the way towards Sandvika or Drammen, where there is more traffic heading northwest and southwest.
'''Option 3 - Bergen direction only - Where the motorway ended -''' there is bus 200 that goes from the City, you can catch it to the stop ''Avtjerna'' and hitch from the bustop. All motorway has ended and it is just country road all the way to Bergen. The con with this option is that it the bus only goes once an hour (and once every 2 hours on sunday). It is also quite far out from Oslo, and public transport can be pricey. But if you just miss the bus you can change to option 1 or 2.
'''Option 4 - Bergen direction only - Onramp at Sandvika'''
Catch a train to Sandvika, when you get off the train walk in the direction the train was moving for 100 meters, turn right and then left on the bigger road (Elias Smiths Vej), follow the road until a roundabout and turn right, and you will see the entrance to the highway. There you can stand with a sign hitchhiking to Hønefoss, where there's a gas station.
