=== Northeast to [[Lahti]], [[Jyväskylä]] (also okay for [[Porvoo]], [[Kotka]], [[Kouvola]] and [[Saint Petersburg]]) ===
There's a long bus stop (I guess it's able to host four or five buses at the same time) mere meters before the beginning of the motorway. Go for the last bus stop before the beginning of the motorway number four. The stop is called "Valtimontie" and you can reach it with several bus lines: 68X, 70, 70T, 73, 73N, 75, 77, 730-732, 734, 740-742, 738.The motorway splits into two slightly before ringroad number III. Road number 4 goes towards north/northeast (Lahti, Jyväskylä), while road number 7 goes towards east (Kotka, Kouvola, Saint Petersburg, and so on). This place works okay with a sign, but is impossible without it. Stand in just behind the very front of the bus stop traffic lights and there will be plenty of space for the cars to stop. You should also make sure the driver is really going to your way, because there's no place to leave you out between the bus stop and the junction where the motorways split...In case you can´t find a satisfying ride within a reasonable time (can happen, specially on Sunday morning), hitch from here to the junction with ring road III (make a sign for one of the suburbs behind, e.g. Järvenpää). Get off once you passed the junction, and hitch on the road connecting the ring road and the highway. Half of the traffic is driving very fast, the other half rather slow - however, here are much more long - distance - going - cars to find than in Valtimontie. Not that this is officially a highway, so hitching is actually forbidden! However, Joeri found this spot much better than Valtimontie.
=== East to [[Porvoo]], [[Kotka]], [[Russia|Russian]] border, [[Saint Petersburg]] ===
