== Don't go one gas station too far, unless... ==
Missing your exit or last station before your destination might cause getting off at first station after your destination. This is a difficult place though to get to the good direction, unless it is a crossable [[crossable rest area|Rest_area#Rest_areas_allowing_cross-overs]]. You do not want to walk kilometres back along the motorway, even if this may seem tempting. Get a lift to the next off-ramp, walk across, and hitch back to where you came from.
== Don't hitch with two or more at truck stops ==
