Take the metro to ''Chernigovskaya'' (Черниговская). Out of the station, walk down 200m to the ''Brovarski Prospekt'' (броварски проспект). You'll most likely see locals hitchhiking there already, just walk a bit further up the road to find a convenient spot. The first car should bring you to the next ГАИ (GAI) police post. Do not accept any rides to the city of Бровари (Brovari), as there will be no useful spots to hitchhike along the road. Best is to catch rides only towards Семполки (Sempolki) or Калита (Kalita), there you'll find a GAI post as well. If hitchhiking towards Russia, get off at the eastward junction after 100km. There, it's easy to hitch further rides towards Russia.
=== East towards [[Poltava]], [[Kharkiv]] ===Take the metro to ''Boryspilska'' (БОРИСПIЛЬСЬКА) station (the second last on the green line). There you find a huge roundabout - walk around the roundabout until you see the turn off to [[Kharkiv]] (XAPKIB). Walk down the road, and you'll probably see a lot of people also hitching there (there were around 40 last time some anonymous hitchhiker did it in the middle of winter); walk to the end of the queue and try to look like you're going a long distance - most people will only be going 30 or 40 km . Try to look different. You can stand a little bit further (having close to the motorway sign), put your backpack in front of you and use the thumb gesture or a conspicuous backpack helps)sign. Cost to get there: 2 UAH (1 metro token, which is about EUR 0.16) <!--Last verified: Nov 2009May 2013--> '''Alternative:''' From Kharkivska district, use marshrutka #317a to Borispil. Stay on the marshrutka until the last stop (at the end of the city). From there, you can walk 2km more to the crossroad where road P08 (transit road around Kyiv, especially for trucks) crosses. Behind it, you should find a nice spot to Poltava or Kharkiv.
=== South-East towards [[Dnepropetrovsk]] (M04) ===
