  === South-East ([[Rijeka]], [[Slovenia]]) === Most traffic going to [[Rijeka]] is passing a small village called Basovizza. You can take the bus #39 to get there.

If you can get a short ride of about 5km to the former border with Slovenia, take it. There is a small petrol station and some restaurants, drivers have a better opportunity to stop here, so, you can stand next to the main road and tramp or talk with the people who stop to take gas. My friend and me got a direct ride to Rijeka in about half an hour.

''Edit: since this road goes through Slovenia it's pretty easy to catch a ride for === East ([[Ljubljana too.'']]) ===

=== East ([[Ljubljana]]) ===Take a tram , bus 2 or 42 to Opicina (cost 1.35eur, February 2015), which is a town almost at the border. The main village road becomes the road to the border, getting out of town there are places where vehicles can stop. Recommended place is in front of NLB bank at the end of the town and where cars can stop easily. Just after the border there is a gas station on the motorway, or you can stand by the old road. (December 2013: The Tram is broken since September 2012, Take the bus 2/ ). (August 2014 : You can take the  Or bus 42 to Sežana anda walk down a little through the end and there city until you are less than 300m from see the border, and there is a safe place to hitchhike from and room for cars to stop bysignal of Ljubljana.)You'd better hitch hike before getting in the the highway

=== West ([[Venice|Venezia]]) ===Your best option is to get to Take a [[Rest area|Area Servizio]] (petrol station) on the motorway. The easiest way to do bus that is goes to take Aquilinia, for example bus line 51 #20 departing from Trieste bus station (around 2 Euro)the city centre, and get out some 30 minutes later direction Muggia. Get off at the village of Sistiana first stop in front of Aquilinia, which is more or less the big supermarket "Cooperative Sociali" ex Bar Duino Biancofirst stop after passing an industrial district. Keep walking on Walk towards the same direction the bus second stop (if you aren't already there). The second stop is going for about 400 meters, when located right after a traffic light and a zebra crossing. In front of you you will reach an Agip gas station on the statal roadsee a blue sign which encourages drivers to slow down. The back A couple of this gas station is connected with hundred meters further the rest area on roads splits, one can either enter the highway, direction Sloveniamotorway or drive towards Muggia. To go direction Venice, just use the underground tunnel connecting the two rest areasProbably good to have a sign Koper].

Val === West [[http://hitchwiki.org/en/User:Nerd-has-a-shirtVenice]] had no Internet to check here and was only dropped off by accident in the center (the driver's misunderstanding). Therefore, he asked the center the fastest way to the highway and closest with the bus and everybody told him from the train station take the bus to the airport (around 4€, Aug.2014) and ask the driver. The bus is easy to find if you ask for it. Get off at the last stop and walk back to the round about. You can either wait there or just walk to the saver spot to be taken fast along the way until you reach 3km later the peage to the highway.===

== Blackriding =='''Option 1''' There Your best option is sometimes to get to a controller but when some anonymous hitchhiker got controlled he just told Area Servizio rest stop petrol station on the controller motorway. The easiest way to do that he thought he would be able is to buy a ticket take bus line G51 from Trieste bus station (around 3 Euro). Bus G51 leaves once every half hour and stops inside the driver (which bus station building instead of outside with the other busses. Get out some 30 minutes later after the village of Sistiana in front of the big supermarket "Conad superstore" in Duino. Keep walking in the same direction the bus is not possible) going for about 400 meters, you'll see a sign saying "Idea hotel" and a large fenced in slab of asphalt. Follow the path right here until you reach a small metal gate leading to a gas station on the statal road. The back of this gas station is connected with the conductor rest area on the highway, direction Slovenia. To go direction Venice, just walked awayuse the underground tunnel connecting the two rest areas. This is just his own experience though spot seems to be most active during the morning and maybe you wonearly afternoon, but even then there doesn't seem to be luckytoo much traffic, and most people were going to Monfalcone 15 minutes up the road. People seemed pretty friendly here, and we managed to get a ride in about 30 minutes. If We also tried this spot the previous evening and it was completely desolate apart from a few police cars stopping to get dinner at the "Fast Eat Italy". '''Option 2'''Bus #36 from the center of Trieste. It follows the road along the coast and this road (''Viale Miramare'') is the one leading to the motorway. Get out of the bus at the stop before the last one. There's no ideal spot on this road but if you walk a bit more on this road you speak Italian, doncan find a couple of acceptable places.  '''Option 3'''t show it  From the train station take the bus to the airport (5 euro or more). Get off at the last stop and walk back to the conductor!road. You can either wait there on bus stop Begliano at countryside road SS14 or walk 3 km back road SS677 and till Casello Autostradale Di Redipuglia toll

 There is a connection to [[Durrës]], [[Albania]].
