I-95 splits into I-93 (going directly thgouh the city of Boston) and I-95 North (making a large half loop arond boston) Where 95 and 93 intersect again you can choose to stay on 93 north which will bring you to Manchester, NH and north through White Mountains National Forrest. By staying on 95 north you will take a eastern course that will bring you to Portland, Augusta, Bangor, Penobscot, and on up and over to Houlton, Maine where you can cross over into Canada.

Rhode Island is bordered by Massachusetts to the north and Connecticut to the west. It takes roughly one hour (depending on traffic and daring of driver) to drive I-95 from the north to the eastern boarder of the state.
Anyone planning on hitching inside Rhode Island should consider staying off the highways. The laws in Rhode Island have been written so as to suggest that hitching is illegal but in reality state law only says "No person shall stand in a roadway for the purpose of soliciting a ride from the driver of any vehicle." (Code 31-18-12 Rhode ISland State Law). What this means is that hithing from the shoulder is not against any state law unless signs have been posted for no pedestrians. Rhode Island State troopers, who patrol the highways, are not known for their loose interpretation of state laws, so if directed away from the high-way by a RI State Trooper, it is advisable to follow the directions over debating the wording chosen on the decades old law.
