=== Northwest towards [[Alba Iulia]], [[Cluj-Napoca]] {{E|68}} {{E|81}} ===
Near the long distance bus station, is a McDonalds, which the locals also use. it can get pretty crowded here. To get to Alba or Cluj you have to go through Sebes, it is good to try find a lift here first, try using a sign.
If the bus stop is too crowded you can pass the train bridge and wak down the road about 150m to reach a second petrol station where the traffic is more calm.
UPDATE:
Take bus 12, 14 or 8 from the centre to Strada Henri Coandă, the last stop before the roundabout. The stop is named Sembraz. From the stop, walk to the roundabout at the end of the street. There's an industrial building with an open gate right on the roundabout. You can stand there, and cars coming from the south going on the highway will have good opportunity to pull over. It took me 5 minutes. It's not a very good spot, but hitchhiking west from Sibiu can be difficult.
Since the highway A1 was built people don't seem to use the other road passing the airport, so despite being counterintuitive people will enter the highway (E81) at the eastern part of the city, which later becomes A1 even when they go west. Trust me, don't try to hitchhike from the other spots.
If people are heading north to Cluj Napoca or Alba Lulia ask them to leave you at the first roundabout after they exit A1. It's a good spot to continue east from as they have plenty of space to pull over due to construction work (Oct2020)
I tried using the other spot listed above going on E68 but after two hours in the rain with no luck I had to give up for the day. There's too many cars and it's not good to pull over. The McDonald's mentioned on this page in another entry is not there anymore. Furthermore, the highway ramp with a roundabout between Sibiu and Ocna Sibiulei is a terrible and dangerous place to stand as you have to stand directly on the road, and virtually no cars go towards Deva from here. I waited an hour here in the rain and ended up having to pay a taxi to Sibiu.
