I walked from the port to Avenue Gambetta which leads onto the Avenue des Canadiens (turn right after leaving port). Its a 2km walk and you simply walk along the coast passing over one bridge. Walk up Gambetta until you get to a petrol station. I had a sign Rouen/ Paris, and got a lift within 20 minutes. If you get an hours sleep at the port, get to the road early to catch the workers heading South.
=== Ferry from Newhaven (Personal Experience) ===
Car drivers who have already made a booking are charged a small fee to change details in their booking, for instance the number of passengers they have on board. If you want a lift, be prepared to pay this for them. I did this once and it was £10. Still cheaper than buying a foot passenger ticket.
In contrast, when I have gone from Dover to Dunkerque, they don't care how many passengers are in the car. Their logic might be that people are likely to spend some money on board, so the more there are, the better.
I should be travelling from Dieppe to Newhaven as a foot passenger, then taking the Dover - Calais ferry as a driver next week, so I will add any information that is relevant.
