→South toward Kemi, Tornio-Haparanda, Oulu {{European Route Number|75}}: added no more bus stop as for 23/Jun/2019 from hitchwiki maps. Need verification.
=== South toward [[Kemi]], [[Tornio-Haparanda]], [[Oulu]] {{European Route Number|75}} ===
From the city centre, walk south along the street ''Valtatie'' (which is also the north-south highway). Pass the Shell petrol station and the railway tracks, and then hitch from the first bus stop. Waiting times may be long, as most of the traffic is local, but you are in the right place to get a long-distance lift south from drivers coming from Rovaniemi or northern Lapland. -> As of 23/Jun/2019, [https://hitchwiki.org/maps/?zoom=16&lat=66.49395413333005&lon=25.709647178649558 there's a comment in hitchwiki maps] saying that the bus stop is not there anymore. Needs verification.

You can stand on the roadside at the beginning of road 79, there is not so much space for cars to stop, and not so much traffic though, but it's the best you can have here.
Just after the Artikum (where the bicycle path goes under the 79 towards the river/park) is a more then ok spot. Space enough for cars to stop.
