=== South towards [[Qom]]-[[Esfahan]] ===
Take the metro to '''Haram-e-Motahhar''' (Red Line). Walk West around across Imam Khomeini tomb, under the highway bridge and South along the Freeway. After 15 minutes, you'll see the pay-toll.
''Redjo27 (Apr 2015): Maybe I was just stupid, but you should walk '''east''' around the tomb (don't enter), since the western way is blocked. At the northernmost point, there is a street going under the highway. Just follow that street until you get to the toll station. You cannot miss it''
''December 2016: There wasn't any street around the fenced tomb complex, despite my maps app showing little streets. '''I went inside''' without being asked for payment or bag check and walked just inside of the fence, there's sort of a ring road for taxis. On the other side (that's west btw) there's a gate again where I left the tomb's complex. Here is also the little tunnel under the highway to get to the southbound side. 500meters to the toll station.
Even if one or both gates would be closed at night you can crawl under them.''
''Note 1'' : this part of the freeway until Qom is forbidden for trucks, which take the old road. Still, this spot is the best for long distances rides. Catch a lift at least until Qom and ask to be dropped before the toll station at the entrance of Qom (if your driver leaves the freeway). From there it will be easy to catch a ride further South (Esfahan, Shiraz), including with trucks.
