From the center of '''Skopje''', get bus #2 (or any other bus that heads for ''Avtokomanda'') eastwards all the way to the last stop. This is the the eastern edge of '''Skopje''' city proper, on the main road east before the turn off north towards [[Serbia]].
It's around 5 km before the road splits into north ([[Belgrade]], [[Sofia]]) and south ([[Greece]]), so have a sign saying which way you want to go. For north, I recommend a sign saying ''KU'' (in latinLatin, not cyrillic Cyrillic since it's the way the car number plates work) for [[Kumanovo]] (the first city before the [[Sofia]] junction), and for south 'VE' for [[Veles]] - the first big city south.
For hitchhiking to the north you can take a bus from the trainstation train station of skopje Skopje to the direction of kumanovoKumanovo, and tell the busdriver bus driver to drop you at the pay-toll before kumanovoKumanovo. The bus is really cheap, and at the pay-toll you have a good chance to find a lift. If the busdriver bus driver doesn't understand english English you can use the words "autostop" and "patarina", which means pay-toll. When you are at a pay-toll, also the coaches will stop to ask you if you want to go with them, but not for free. But be careful, a busticket bus ticket from Skopje to Belgrade isn't more like 20 euroseuro.
After the Serbian border the motorway from Macedonia turns into a normal road, but as it is the only road from Skopje to Belgrade, you have the same amount of traffic like on the motorway.
