Another good spot to wait is a small roundabout 10 minutes north of the river on foot. Walk North on Cours Lazare Escarguel, cross the river, where CLE changes its name to Pont Arago. Just before the sidewalk ends, take the stairs (on the right) down to the street below. Continue walking north, parallel to Pont Arago for 5 - 10 minutes. The road will veer to the right and you will be able to see another roundabout. Cars going both North (Toulouse, Montpellier) and South (Barcelona) frequently pass by here. I've successfully hitched from here twice.
'''A GREAT OPTION IF YOU ARE HEADING NORTHgreat option if you're heading North''' Due to the opening of the new ''Rocade'' the best option to get North direction (Toulouse, Carcassonne, Narbonne and Montpellier) it´s by public transport. [[http://hitchwiki.org/members/Armoniautopia/Armoniautopia]] I´ve has done this lots of time and it always worked very well, much better than the other options. You just need to get bus number 4 direction Languedoc and get out at the bus stop Monticelli. From the bus stop you cross to the other side of the road and you stand there at the entrance of '''''la voie rapide'''''. You´ll see in the green road sign Narbonne. Stand with your sing and there is enough space for the cars to stop and pick you up!!
=== Other options to get to autoroute ===
This is in the experience of [[http://hitchwiki.org/members/Armoniautopia/]Armoniautopia] the best and quickest option if you are heading to the South (Girona, Barcelona) To get to the peage (pay toll) by public bus, the best is to take the line number 3, direction ''Pascot''. Get out on the last stop, then walk until the end of ''Avenue Pascot'', then go left on ''Route de Canohes'' until you see the big road (road D900). Go on right and follow this road for few hundred metres untill until the toll. Cars have lots of space to stop and there is usually lots of traffic.
From this toll you can easily get a lift North or South. There is an international fruit and vegetable wholesale market (''Saint Charles Market'') close to this toll, many trucks that come from there enter the autoroute through this toll to go both to [[Spain]] and France.
