__NOTOC__
==Hitching Hitchhiking out=====West (Connemara, Aran Islands ferry terminal)===If you're feeling lazy, catch the number 1 bus from Eyre Square - stay on the bus going through Salthill and get off once the bus turns off the coach road. From here it's about 5 minutes walk to where the bypass meets the old coach road, which is the ideal spot for hitching. If you're lucky, you'll get a lift before you even get there.
If you're short on cash, just walk out along Father Griffin Road === East and Taylors Hill Road to the same spot, around 40 minutes walk; again, you may get lucky south towards [[Dublin]] and get a lift before then but I wouldn't count on it. You could try the roundabouts on the bottom of the Headford Road, on the bypass but near the city centre[[Limerick]], but it has always looked too heavily trafficked with local vehicles to me.[[Cork]] ===
===Northwest ([[Clifden]])===* '''Dublin Road'''Walk up University Road and Newcastle There are some good spot to hitchhike in Dublin Road. But since there is the new M6 highway, and you can probably stop walking once you get beyond the flashy hotel on it's maybe not the right hand side; again, best if you might get lucky and pick up a lift quickerare going to Dublin. Alternatively, get bus number 5 as far up the Upper Newcastle Road as it goes, get out and walk hitching But good if you are going to the same spotLimerick or Cork.
===East or South ([[Dublin]]From railway and bus station go right till you get to Frenchville Ln., [[Cork]]turn right and go down the road near Radisson Hotel. At the end of the road turn left to Lough Atalia Rd., [[Limerick]])===which is inner city bypass. You will see rail bridge on the right. You can go out hitch just behind the junction. There's traffic jam quite often. It's about 3 minutes walk. If you continue on the old Dublin Road, but ityou's a long walk to where it meets the bypass ll find, bus stops, red lights, and hard nice spots to get a lift inside the cityhitch. You The Ballybaan Road/Monivea Road can also go to the Skerritt roundabout on by the GMIT College. There is space after the bypass might be worth roundabout to hitch a trylift. Bus no. 2 goes in this direction.
<!--* '''M6 to Dublin''' I removed Since 2010 there is the advice not M6 highway between Galway and Dublin. So it is maybe better to use find a sign, as I found that a sign better spot where you can reduce waiting times hitch the cars going to this highway. If you find a lotcar to Dublin hitchhiking on Dublin Road, you will be lucky, because now, not much people go this way if they want to go to the M6 to Dublin. Morris roudabout could be better.Go to the Morris roundabout which is beside the dual carriageway (N6). There is space after the roundabout to hitch a lift and even had success with it at exactly that place --MrTweek a petrol station to ask drivers for assistance. Bus no. 3 goes in this direction.I (François Gobert, French) hitchhiked on this same road on Oct-->2015 and got picked up in 10 minutes! Walk a bit further after the ESSO petrol station and start hitchhiking just when the insertion line ends up! Good spot!
=== West towards [[Connemara]] by the coast road, Aran Islands ferry terminal in [[Rossaveel]] ===
