When If you are arriving from [[Augustów]], if driver doesn't go any further than Suwałki, ask him to leave you at the Shell petrol station inside the town. From there, you can walk less than a kilometre to the end of town and hitchhike further from a bus stop. If you are dropped off at the beginning of town, where the bypass road splits off, there is a large lay-by (big enough for a truck too) just past the roundabout where you can hitch and where cars can pull over. ([[User: Drumroots|Drumroots]] even had a truck just about squeeze into the lay-by to give him a lift).
At From the end PKS bus station, walk south on highway 8 (E67) along Utrata street for about 4.3kms until you reach the roundabout at the southern edge of town, at . Hitch on the highway about 60m after the exit from the roundabout described above. Otherwise, there's some space to stop cars going south, but little light available, depending on is a large Orlens petrol station at the spot/visibility roundabout if you want to choose when hitchhiking ask drivers (or if you get caught in the rain/ at night).

=== North towards [[Lithuania]] {{European Route Number|67}} ===
From the PKS bus station, walk north about 1km along Utrata street (highway 8 (E67)) till the roundabout. The highway 8 turns right here on Gen. Kazimierza Pułaskiego, so take the right turn and continue straight for 2kms until you are almost out of town. You can hitch at the junction of Knuta Olafa Falka street (opposite the Oil Transfer petrol station). There is a hard shoulder here just wide enough for cars but not trucks; however, traffic is moving reasonably slowly to make it a good enough place to hitch.
The road enters Lithuania at the [[Budzisko-Kalvarija border crossing]], (about 25kms from Suwałki) where long-distance rides further into the Baltic countries are possible.
