=== East towards [[Vladimir]], [[Nizhny Novgorod]], the Far East {{Motorway Number Russia|7}} ===
[[File:Moscow east.jpg|thumb|The Hitchhiking spot (behind the bridge) in direction Vladimir]]
Take the metro to the station ''Shosse Entuziastov'' (Шоссе Энтузиастов). From there, walk up to the main street and you'll directly be at the bus stop. Here, take bus #702 or #214 to ''Southern Izmaylovo'' (южное Измайлово). Get out at the last stop. Here you can already hear the motorway, though it's a bit difficult to find it in first place. Walk back in south-eastern direction until you'll find a McDonalds restaurant. This is directy located at the motorway junction of the ring. Walk for around 150m east down under the bridge until you find a good spot to start hitchhiking. Additionally, you can also walk 300m further until the petrol station and start hitchhiking on the hard shoulder just behind it. Traffic here is huge.
=== South-East towards [[Ryazan]], [[M5]] ===
Take the purple metro line (Tagensko-Krasnopresnenskaia) until "Kotelniki", the last station. Here you can easily walk go to the "Novoryazanskoe shossee"/M5, which is perpendicular to the street you arrived with the metro. The cross is a bridge, so you can get on it by stairs and start hitchhiking or walking some hundred of meters to get more ride. You are out from the MKAD-circle, but not from the moscow urban area : don't hesitate to get ride of 20 or 30 kms at the begining.
=== South-West towards [[Kyiv]] ([[Ukraine]]) {{Motorway Number Russia|3}} ===
Take the metro to the station Annino (Аннино), it's situated on Varshavskoe Shosse (Варшавское шоссе). From there, walk towards [[MKAD]] and Simferopolskoe Shosse (Симферопольское шоссе), get out of the city through the traffic interchange on the intersection of MKAD and Varshavskoe Shosse, and then keep direction to M2 (Simferopolskoe Shosse) and walk approx. 2 km to the city line. There is a convenient spot at the roadside right before railway bridge where cars slow down. All cars there move strictly by M2.
=== South towards [[Rostov - on - Don]] {{Motorway Number Russia|4}}, [[Volgograd]] {{Motorway Number Russia|6}} ===
First of all you need to take metro line 6 (yellow line) to the station Teply Stan in the direction of Bittsevskyj Park. Then exit through the first exit to the right and just there you have the bus stop of the bus 37 and the marszrutka 37M. You can take either of them. They both enter the Moscow Ring (it's a 6 lanes road with lots of traffic, it would be really hard to miss). The bus exit back to the city and then comes back to the ring and there after it comes back you should get out on the first stop. With marszrutka you just have to look for the signs for M4 (it will be saying M4 650m to the right). When you exit just follow the signs and the road till you find a BP Gas Station. Hitch - hiking from there is easy.
Тake bus #127 from metro ''Молодёжная'' (Molodyozhnaya; blue line) towards ''Pублево'' (Rublevo) to the very last stop. Continue to walk straight along ''Улица Василия Ботылёва'' (Ulitsa Vasiliya Botylyova) for about 500m. You will find yourself just in front of the [[M9 (Russia)|M9]] motorway now. You will see that there is a noise protection wall, but it is possible to walk to the left behind the bridge, and after some meters you can climb up the hill up to the motorway. There's plenty of space on the hard shoulder to stop cars. Most traffic might only go to the next villages, so make sure to get a ride at least 30-50 km further out of the suburbs of Moscow.
Compared to the european cities, Moscow is a far easier city to find open wi-fi signal. For an easy solution, many metro lines have public open wifi inside the trains (but not at the platforms).
