=== South/West ===
Take the T-bana (metro) towards ''Norsborg'' and get out at ''Hallunda'' (last but one), then walk down the ''Tre Kallors väg'' and you will find a good spot with a [[petrol station]]. A lot of cars are going South all the way to [[Denmark]].
Take the commuter train to "Södertälje Hamn". After coming out of the station house, turn to the right and walk South along the E4/E22 until you come to a tunnel that goes under the highway. Walk through this tunnel and then take to the right; walk North along the highways until you come to the place where E20 from the west merges into E4 South. On this stretch of road you have perhaps the best chance of getting South from Stockholm. You are technically not allowed to stand there so the police might ask you to leave, but it is a safe place, so don't feel bad about it. You should wait for a car that goes at least all the way to Norrköping, but if you are very impatient, Nyköping might also do.
Loads of trucks leaving from Västberga industrial area, where many trucking companies are located. DHL has a huge terminal there. Trucks leave from 15.00 and on, all evening, to destinations such as Gothenburg, Malmö, Helsingborg but also northbound and westbound. Also south to continental Europe.
Further out in Spånga, there is a huge SCHENKER terminal, with many trucks going daily to all major cities in Sweden.
You can also take the free of charge Ikea bus to Kungens Kurva. You find the bus schedule from the [http://www.ikea.com/se/sv/store/kurvan Ikea website]. The web page is only in Swedish, but it says the busses go once an hour, first 10am and the last 7pm. The bus leaves from Regeringsgatan 13, from City. When the bus gets to Ikea Kungens Kurva, there's a petrol station on the other side of the highway. Walk behind Ikea and you find a pedestrian tunnel going across the highway. The petrol station is a pretty good spot to hitchhike. We noticed a little problem there, though. The highway splits up in Södertälje to E4 southward and E20 westward, 30km from Kungens Kurva. Depending on which way you want to go, it's a good idea to catch a ride straight to the direction where you need to. It's impossible and dangerous to hitchhike where the two highways split, people drive so fast.
