It is on the way from route between Moldova in direction of and [[Lviv]] or [[Poland]] or the other way around, and between [[Kyiv]] and Romania.

Chernivtsi has no real bypass == Hitching in and around == If you're coming from the West, East or North and want to proceed in one of these directions, there is a complicated main road networkthat connects two roundabouts in the West and the East of the center which are great jump-off points. It's possible to hitch on this road even though it's within the city. For more details, see below. If you get dropped off in the centre and wish to hitchhike onward, but there are plenty of buses and trolleybuses, and local people can tell you which to take. Besides Russian and Ukrainian, Romanian is and German are widely spoken.

From the central train station (''vokzalu stantsia'') you have to follow the street to the northwest, cross for about 2km. Turn left at the roundabout after crossing the river and at . Directly after the next roundabout turn there is a small bus terminal on your right, and that's your way (plenty of local people trying to get a lift or maybe take just waiting for a ''marshrutka'', as it .  The road splits into the H10 towards Ivano-Frankivsk and the M19 towards Ternopil' at the village Mamaivtsi which is about 10km from the train station)8km further. There is Here you can find a great spot for going further northto Ternopil': a huge roundabout after which you can stand right before a railroad crossing where all drivers have to slow down if they don't want to wreck their car. Street lighting for dark nights inclusive.  [[User:n0id|n0id]] and M. first tried to hitch next to the locals at the bus station, but soon walked a bit further and got a lift to Mamaivtsi. Here they also had the company of a few locals coming and leaving by flagging down a ride. At around 10pm there was not too much traffic, but trucks passed by once in a while and finally one, going all the way to Poland, stopped. === East towards [[Moldova]] === If you're coming from the West or North and transiting, don't go into the city. Have yourself dropped off at the first roundabout described below. From the central train station (''vokzalu stantsia''), follow the street to the northwest for about 2km. After crossing the river, you'll get to a roundabout. Follow the signs saying Chisinau, and you'll get onto a very long straight boulevard that after 9km and one bend leads to another roundabout which is a perfect spot for finding a lift to Novoselica and onto Moldova. The recommended thing to do is to hitch on the beginning of the long straight boulevard. A sign would help greatly. [[User:Zenit|Zenit]] walked 3.5km in August 2011 until the train crossing and got a lift to the roundabout from there.

The road splits into the H10 === South towards Ivano-Frankivsk and the [[Suceava]] (RO) (M19 towards Ternopil' at the village Mamaivtsi.) ===

[[User:CRCulver|Christopher Culver]] vaguely remembers hitchhiking south out of Chernivtsi by taking a trolleybus Very close to the last stop, which is on university building (the street that becomes most beautiful and famous touristic attraction of the M19, city) there is a very calm and then walking a few hundred metres down nice neighbourhood with parks and lots of spots for wild camping. Walk on the road. There were plenty right of trucks passing by, the university and a petrol station where he successfully asked drivers follow its fence for lifts.
