Take care, Walk 2km from the town centre in south-west direction along Wojska Polskiego street to 2nd roundabout along this road. Stand at the zebra crossing traffic might also go eastwards for [[Lithuania]], or you might assume this, but just after the roundabout exit on the N61 direction Warsaw. Cars and trucks over 7.5 t are not allowed on that roadgoing slow enough after exiting the roundabout to stop. Anyway: Most traffic There is even some room for e.g. [[Vilnius]] might as well go via [[Kaunas]]. It is definitely your best bet a car to hitch further north along pull off from the E67 and then go eastroad.
See the spot Same directions for Grajewo & Warsaw (see above), but stand on the mapE67 direction [[Białystok]]. Needs more descriptionThere are a lot of trucks passing here from the Baltics, and because of the roundabout, though. Probably walking is your best friend in this case as wellthey will be going slow enough to stop safely.
'''Augustów''' is a city in northeast [[Poland]] along the [[E67]] "Via Baltica". It is a transit point between the Baltic countries and Poland. All the transit traffic used to go pass the town, but since November 2014 a new by-pass has been opened.

== Hitchhiking through ==
Since the new by-pass has opened, you don't need to go to the center of Augustów anymore. If you do get a ride to the city center, it might be better to get out at the on-ramp shortly before the south end of the town when you're hitchhiking towards [[Kaunas]] or at the round-about shortly after [[Suwałki]] when you're coming from there and going towards [[Warsaw]].
== Hitchhiking out ==
=== North towards [[Suwałki]], [[Lithuania]] {{European Route Number|67}} ===
At the end of town, after crossing the river bridge, there's a huge bus stop for stopping cars. Some traffic here might get off earlier, so best bet is to walk about 500m further. You'll recognize a traffic light and behind after this, about 50m50 m further, you'll find a much better hitchhiking spot. Spot The place is also fine good for night hitchhiking, at least you can catch cars here towards Suwałki. While some cars may go east from here towards [[Vilnius]], trucks cannot use this road. No matter what your destination in Lithuania is, it is best to head for Suwałki and then the [[Budzisko-Kalvarija border crossing]]. === South-west towards [[Grajewo]], [[Warsaw]] (N61) ===
=== South towards [[Białystok|Bialystok]] {{European Route Number|67}} ===
=== West towards [[Elk]] (N16) ===
At the first roundabout along Wojska Polskiego street in the south of the town, walk westwards. There are some bus stops on the way, so walk as much as you prefer and try to hitch cars. Best bet is to go only with traffic directly to Elk, as in between there are barely good spots to find, especially at night it can be very difficult.
