== Police ==Watch out for OPP, Cornwall from Ottawa Police, and RCMP officersis fairly difficult. Ottawa is It may be just better to just hitchhike to the capitol of Canada and because of 401 (follow directions to Toronto), then at the 2014 shootings at Parliament Hill, these officers onroutes ask people who are more uptight nowgoing to Cornwall. Talk to them in a calm manner if you encounter then and try to explain your situation as (Make sure you are stuck, and need to get somewhere, dropped at a onroute going the direction Montreal rather than I am hitchhiking because I think it Toronto, or get dropped at prescott) This is fun and adventurousa less direct ride but you have much better chances on the 401.

There's also a pretty decent spot outside Lee's station. Walk up to Lee's Ave, turn right, and walk past the apartment complexes to the Trans Canada on-ramp. There isn't a shoulder, but there is a paved area right at the entrance of the On-Ramp where cars can stop. Wait times are usually under 40 mins, although can be longer depending on the day.

== East towards [[Montréal]] ==
From downtown, take the number 86 OC Transpo bus towards Elmvale and get off at Southvale / Russell. Keep walking down Russell towards the intersection of Walkley and Russell. Cross the street to the southeast side of the intersection, and go to the shoulder right at the start of the right-turn lane. Wait times from here are generally quite short, taking anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes in most cases. Just make sure your ride is going towards Montreal, as from this point people can be going either northbound or southbound on the 417. Or just walk down to onramp for eastbound 417 there is some traffic and space for drivers to stop on the ramp.
== South East towards [[Cornwall]] ==
== West towards [[North Bay]]/[[Sudbury]] ==
Note: You don't have to go from downtown. Any entrance ramp on 417 will do. Just write Kanata on cardboard.
== South towards [[Toronto]] ==
Take the 118 to the furthest West of Baseline. It should be called Baseline and Robertson Rd. Here you will see the 416 highway, which goes as South as Prescott. At the entrance ramp here, you can find a ride usually to Kemptville. That is about halfway. Then on the next onramp get to Prescott. Once at Prescott you can find the onramp for the 401 direction Toronto. Try to get to a OnRoute (Ontario service station). Here there is a lot of restaurants and so people have time to chat with you to determine if they trust you or not. At night these service stations are reliable places to hitchhike. Try to hitchhike at a service station without looking like a hitchhiker, so that you have less chance of getting kicked out.

I got stuck many times in Spencerville, and Oxford Station. I was stuck because a car at these on-ramps comes by every 30 minutes, low in traffic. You might want to find a direct ride from the Ottawa 416 on ramp directly, rather than getting dropped in the middle of nowhere. What i ended up doing when I was stuck was walking directly to the highway. This is a big risk if a cop sees me because I will get fined.''
