=== North towards [[Bordeaux]], [[Agen]], [[Limoges]], [[Paris]] {{European Route NumberE|09}} {{European Route NumberE|72}} A62 ===
To get to the large péage where all the traffic in this direction must stop, take the metro line B, get off at the stop "La vache" then get the bus 60 or 69 and get off at "Laparrou". Near to this bus stop there is the small dead-end street "Impasse des Horticulteurs", at the end of which you can see the peage behind the tall metal fence and there is a rail gate on the right hand side. Just beside the gate, you will see a net fence has been tramped down. Go through it and climb to the top of the mound and jump over another net fence, you then can walk down the slope and along the edge lane to the peage directly.
Take metro line B to stop Borderouge, then change bus 40 or 73 or walk to stop Atlanta. Just walk along the Route d'Albi to the road sign post before the road splits to ramp onto A62 and hitch with a sign. The passing traffic goes to Albi via D888 or A68.
===The [[Péage]] towards the South-East===
First, take metro line B in the direction ''Ramonville'' to the very last stop. Then you can get to the péage :
* '''by bus''', get directly in the 79 ([http://www.tisseo.fr/sites/default/files/Tisseo_ete79web.pdf PDF with the route and the timetables of the bus 79]) Get off at the bus stop ''Commerce''. At the traffic circle in front of you, turn right and cross a fast road (not the motorway though) then get on a bridge above a canal. There is a gate at the end of the bridge you might have to climb but so far, it was open. You can see the small bridge on the [http://maps.hitchwiki.org/?lat=43.54602858169725&lng=1.501157283782959&zoom=17&trip=0&view=0 map]. [[User:phlyming|Phlyming]] found the gate too high to climb over for normal people and it was easier to directly walk along the edge lane onto the interchange bridge in the north, follow the direction to A61 and get to peage.
====Towards [[Carcassonne]], [[Montpellier]], [[Barcelona]] ([[Spain]])====
Most of the cars are going this way, you should get a ride in a few minutes.
====Towards [[Foix]], [[Andorra]]====A few kilometers after the péage the motorway splits, with most traffic going on to Montpellier and no way to drop you. Therefore a sign reading ''direction Foix'' is essential.<br/>
If the driver is not going all the way to Foix or Andorra, he might be able to drop you off at the péage ''Pamiers'', from which one can easily continue on.
==Public transport==
Eventhough it's hard to get in the metro without ticket, is good to know that tickets are valid during 1 hour after the first punch. That means trash bins are full of valid tickets ;)
