Hitching from Quebec city to the rural surrounding areas should usually be really simple as many commuters does travel nearly 100km every day between their home and the city they might simply take you as they would think you are from the same village as them and therefore they should know you, as this is still part of the rural mentality. Hence again, having a sign stipulating your destination or the County will greatly help.
Even if hitching along the highway is 'de facto' illegal, it is still pretty common in the Greater Quebec region and would be tolerated at a certain point (this includes the highway once in the rural area passed the suburbs. Hitching in the metropolitan area along the highway though, would NOT be tolerated at any point. Hitching along the slipon-road ramp would be no problem unless there is no safety space for a car to stop, which is the case in several area.For that purpose, Do not walk or try to hitch along the following Urban Boulevard or Highway:* A-73 (Autoroute Laurentienne/Autoroute Henri-IV) ''dense traffic, accident common''* A-740 (Autoroute Du Vallon) ''curvy highway used as a 'urban racetrack'''* A-40 (Autoroute Charest) between exit 'Rue Jean-Gauvin' and the end of the highway ('Rue St-Sacrement') ''(dense traffic and no shoulder)''* A-540 (Autoroute Duplessis) ''(no shoulder)'' An announcement would probably even be done quite quickly on the radio station saying that some crazy fools are walking along those said road which would rage people as the police would have to go and close a lane down for security reasons.
