* [[The "F3" Freeway]] ("National 1") is the main roadway running North from Sydney, catering for nearly all traffic. Being a Freeway, it is not open to pedestrian traffic, and trying to walk along it is likely to attract unwanted attention from the cops. Options for trying to get a lift up the F3:
** Try and meet drivers at the gas stations ("service/petrol stations") around Thornleigh on [[Pennant Hills Road]] ("The Cumberland Highway"). This road services the majority of interstate and heavy traffic, and as these are the last fuel stops for anyone headed North, so most people will stop in, plus a 24 hour McDonaldMcD's also draws in traffic.
** If coming up The Pacific Highway from Sydney, the last fuel stop is at Turramurra.
** Failing all that, there is a truck rest bay at the end of the F3, under the roadbridge intersection with the Pacific Highway. Trucks tend to hold up here when they need to take their legislated rest breaks, or when traffic is so heavy that they'd rather let it all pass by. The rest bay is not well lit, and access to it is a bit sketchy (walking down active roadways), so this is a last resort option.
