When going to Italy, wait for a car going at least to Menton (or use a sign), then ask to drop you out at the first gas station (the only one between the two cities) shortly after the exit to [[Monaco]], and look for drivers going to Italy there.
===West towards [[Marseille]], [[Lyon]], [[Paris]]===
Take a train the bus No 10 to St Laurent du Var - Gare SNCF. From the station building north of the tracks walk along rue Léonard Anfossi. Soon you will arrive to a roundabout, follow on, pass under the motorway bridge, where you'll see a second roundabout, the exit on your left is the onramp for westbound A8. Use a sign saying [[Cannes]] and get off at the gas station on the Cannes bypass.
===Both west and East on the [[A8 (France)|A8]] ===
There is a ''Péage'' in nortwest Nice, suitable for both directions, but a bit more difficult to access though. Take the bus no. 9 to "Nice - La plaine", and from there hitch or walk the remaining 2,5 km north along Route de Grenoble. Firstly the motorway will be parallel to the road on your left, there you'll be able to see the southbound Péage, but unable to access it. A bit further is a roundabout with an on ramp for A8 towards [[Monaco]][[Menton]] with a péage a 100 m further.
To get to the southbound péage you'll have to keep north on Route de Grenoble (use the left shoulder), cross the A8 under the bridge and youl see a southbound on-ramp, accessible only to cars coming from the north. Walk back along it till you get to the Péage (although that's probably forbidden).
===North towards [[Grenoble]]===
That's a mountain road, where you can make it to Grenoble in one day or less (in summer).
The first way to get there is the same as for the Péage on the A8, but from the roundabout just hitch towards Digne instead the A8. Other possibility is to take the "Chemin de Fer de Provence " train to Bellet, (at least 1 train an hour) the're is a good roundabout just next to the station.
