In order of importance:
#A [[map]] of the area you plan to travel in, preferably showing gas stations and tollway stations.
#:Like anything though, this is debatable. Some hitchers may like to just go by the sun and general knowledge of the region.
If you like to hitchhike with [[signs]]:
#A big black '''marker'''.
#An A4 transparent plastic map and some spare A4 papers, or a piece of cardboard
#:You'll often be able to find cardboard and paper on your way - just ask (or dumpster-dive) at shops or gas stations.
#:An A4 writing pad turned out to be very handy. You can make a lot of signs with it and it's quite stable. It's also good to have some paper clips with you, in case it's windy and the sheets are flapping.
For people who like it safe:
#A mobilephone for sending SMS to a friend. , to inform them about the numberplate of the car you jumped in .
==Quickly accessible during rides==
